1. The GA does not represent the community
2. The GA is vulnerable to a simple governance attack
3. The CC vote period was extended by the person running the vote while he asked
   specific people to join.
4. from the small number of people supporting the GA system origianlly
   several changed their mind (both me and nicolas for example liked the
   GA idea originally IIRC) also paul opposed it publically immedeatly
   when it was announced many years ago

We can easily have something better

The community is thousands of people not just 49

thx

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
