True, but we need to move development discussions to some other forum
besides this one (EuForum). When I ask EuForum if they agree or disagree
with some change to the interpreter, and I get 2-3 responses, I'm not
so enthusiastic about querying the population anymore. They apparently
1. don't care about it, or
2. agree with it, or
3. don't disagree enough to speak up.

No more controversial than when one person made all the decisions. :)

This is probably not true because all the producers will themselves be
consumers!

The population of developers is very tiny. I would say, at the most, there
are maybe 5-10 active developers, and that's being optimistic.

Well, of course.
