So now you can have a project with someone else's opinion instead of Walter's.

Not someone else, but many others. I value projects governed by multiple people because one person cannot be an expert in every field, even though that person is smarter than most people.
There are two sides to that. Once you start running a project by committee you will find all sorts of odd features winding their way through the system. Politicking has as much influence as technical merit when it comes to new proposals.
