Hmm, from the people who participated in the initial discussion which
led to the council compromise I count 2 in favor of the limitation,
the rest against it. This I call a majority.
During the 8 months since we have this issue I read lots of complaints
about the limitation, I did not read any post in favor of it. This is
what I call a majority.

In an election or a poll (a democratic process) how much weight do
those have who do not give their vote? In every election there is a
number of people who do not vote, either because they don't care or
none of the given options is to their liking. But I haven't seen an
election or poll where the "silent" number was counted in favor for
one side or the other. So, if you are talking about the silent
majority I can ask you rightfully, on which side the silent majority
would be.

Then you think that his behavior is ok and everybody who doesn't like
it can leave? That is not funny. It is against all that Mageia stands
for.
I think we do not have different opinions, we are living in different worlds.
