Are you going to accept cold hard code contributions from someone who regularly writes excellent code and has the technical sense of the community about 80% of the time, and is at odds with the technical sense of the community 20% of the time, and regularly tells everyone involved in the 20% case that they're idiots and the project will fail if they don't merge the remaining 20% of their code (which is technically excellent too, just not implementing the design people want)?

Are you going to accept cold hard code contributions from someone who generally writes good code that works on the first try but refuses to listen to code reviews?

Are you going to accept cold hard code contributions under the wrong license? (Licenses are politics, not code!)
