True, I might not know the specifs of how an open source project is managed, but
I have
had sat in boards and have worked under them also. Boards, committes, or
whatever you want
to call them are run by consensus and that involves giving in a little here and
a little
there to get everyone happy.  In the end you get a decision that everyone can
live with but
no one really likes it.  It all boils down to politics.

Of course all that changes if you have a strong leader in charge...
