I was always sceptical about large-area changes to the code base and am pleased that DesireData has its own sandbox within desire.c and some tcl scripts.
It hasn't. I mean, some things are outside of desire.*, especially because they can't be implemented in there.
i would strongly encourage that larger changes to the code are discussed before and have to be supported by some majority of people working on the branch.
If there is a majority then there has to be a population. If there's a population then there has to be a list of the electorate. So, who's allowed to vote and who's not?
Yes, we do need to define a collective decision process. But for such things, just a consensus of the pd-dev list has worked pretty well, i.e. post your suggested changes, and wait for some responses.
