Open source is probably one of the most accessible forums of direct democratic action. If you have the majority and leadership will not cede to your will, you fork the project and break away.

If you lack the majority, you have fewer options, most of which devolve to coups and forcing an ouster.

I don’t know how to read this letter in any other light.

I think it may also be symptomatic of the peculiarly leftist failure of assuming the inevitability and reasonableness of their positions as universal and that to disagree makes one a priori a bad actor.

Only one signer is in the top 200 contributors to Nixpkgs. That number is still the same even if you count signers in the top 500, too.

A group that _barely_ uses Nix wants to overthrow its creator. This is hilarious and I hope they don't win.

Also of note, several of the people casually name-dropped in the letter, are not signatories. As well as several of the folks that I have seen publicly express that displeasure with even the most recent sponsorship policy.

This to me, says a lot. I been around Nix. There are some names on that list that hurt, that will be missed, but I honestly expected worse, given the self-important tone and demands the letter contains.
