That’s the abscence of process. No votes, no committees, no grown people pretending they’re a court of appeal.

Community proposes, Matz disposes is a process, if a dirt simple, low-ceremony one.

The process is simple, but not absent.

I guess it points to a difference between klennwell's and jetrink's comments above: "The BDFL has the final say" is process in the sense of jetrink's comment (it's an explicit power structure that can avoid some of the worst of the unorganized alternatives, with IMHO unique acceptance), but it's not bureaucracy as in klennwells. I had mentally nested your comment wrong.
