I gave a talk on OpenStack governance at a local meetup a couple of
weeks ago. I'm already not delighted at how bureaucratic we seem. This
would take the biscuit :)

I'm honestly not sure I'd ever get to a point where I can explain this
off the top of my head to a newbie in a reasonable amount of time.

At some point, a governance structure seems so overly bureaucratic for
the task at hand that many pragmatic, "I just want to build stuff"
people won't even care to take the time to figure out the structure.

Cheers,
Mark.
