Even if i am affected by the process resulting in poor or no 
documentation, such that it's very difficult for me to actually 
use the (possibly new) feature(s)? (Cf. the documentation for the 
`pcase` features - even people who are far more accomplished 
developers than me have been having trouble understanding what's 
going on, such that they're disinclined to use it.)

i feel that, as both a user of GNU Emacs and a developer of 
packages /for/ GNU Emacs (admittedly not packages currently in 
core), i get to at least voice my opinion about process issues 
that i feel are affecting me. In turn, yes, the people doing the 
work on core GNU Emacs get to say to me "Okay, well, we're not 
going to change the process". i /don't/, however, feel it's 
appropriate to suggest that users and non-core developers aren't 
even allowed to express their concerns. But again, i'll accept 
John's position on this, and won't say anything more for now.


Alexis.
