i fully agree with this pov. there's a sentiment among certain members 
that if you choose a path different from the norm, you are not 
"following the OpenStack way".

my question is (i guess this in theory could be ask to everyone), the 
the TC has historically been a reactive council that lets others ask for 
change and acts as the final approver (arguably, just my opinion). do 
you believe the TC should be a proactive committee that drives change? 
and if yes, to what scope? i realise the follow up is very open-end and 
vague and i apologise for this.
