A few people play leaders and they feel free to completely ignore the complete community. You described exactly the sad state of Squeak today.
Do you have specific instances where the community has been ignored? My feeling is that concerns raised on the list are seriously considered. Of course, not all of them can be addressed; the people driving the 3.9 effort are very busy. At least progress is being made in some direction, even if it is not exactly the direction that some factions within the community would like. Overall, I have the feeling that 3.9 is moving in a direction that reflects the will of the community.
