Also I have been observing a couple of times issues comming from pure "docracy" aproaches.
A developer has a new idea for their plattform and pushs it forward. Sometimes (actually even often) it's in conflict with existing development of other plattforms.
An advice process and and a clear documantation about previous desicions and their reasons could help to find greater #desicions.
There is no majority forcing a desicion but documenting.
