I don't. Can someone explain it to me? I've not seen any discussions on
squeak-dev where people have said or even implied the latter. In
reality, all of the vocal discussions center around whether to include
certain changes in The Image (tm) or not. In the context of that
discussion, comments like "I don't like your idea" are valid because
part of the decision process needs to be to find out what the majority
thinks about the validity of the change on the larger scale. That
doesn't mean that a minority veto should necessarily prevent an idea
from being integrated but you can't dismiss such comments merely on the
grounds of not being constructive.

Cheers,
