I find it hard to believe that 503 PEAR-DEVs can decide accurately what millions of people want. Also bring into the fact that theres maybe 50 people who ever actually vote on the ML, this just doesn't sit right with me. Just take a look how TV-Schedules are made :-)
In Germany, 4000 people decide this for 90 Mill. other. You should never forget, that the OpenSource-Society like each other society live from a handful (in comparison to users of OS) of active people - active means spending time in doing just then siting in front of freshmeat.org and looking for new stuff. That this handful decides something for the rest of the world isn't forced by the active members - it is accepted by the rest of the world.
