That's not fair. Cees is going to a good deal of trouble to *get*
our input, and he is setting clear expectations so that we know it
will be treated is *input*. He is also making it clear that he is
not arbitrarily changing the rules or the process; he's just trying
to make it work well by getting more input and advice from all of us.
This is a good thing.
