Just for the sake of argument, a single counter-example can prove you wrong. And that counter-example is traits. I implemented the traits long before I got actual karma, and why do we have traits in trunk now? Because I kept arguing that they are useful, and that I as a user want them. Others liked the idea, and eventually I got the karma to push the code into the official repository. First it was developed completely outside of PHP and without asking anyone from internals, just because I wanted it... That is how open source works.
