I find this screenshot rather telling. Its of an IRC chat room used to gather and talk about ways to improve Drupal. In this chat, Yoroy, an active contributor, is talking about a design that's been in the works for several months now, and is starting to change direction. I can't be sure, but I'm hoping he's rallying the troops to weigh in so that the design stays on track. This reminds me of a situation that used to take place at Fidelity Investments
