In this case I would say that silence == no-vote. And that the guys debating 
must set their differences aside and find a solution. 
No spec is ever perfect, besides, this is mainly about open source, if the new 
spec won't fit the bill an uproar will occur and it will be revised to 1.2.1, 
the old spec will be swiftly passed on to neverneverland.

I don't know enough about this so I'm definitely a yay sayer either way it 
goes.

This is an open community... formality isn't a strong point ;)

I understand how you feel, lots of energy here during the last week. It's easy 
to have strong opinions about something you know a lot about... I've been 
there and done my part of argumentation in similar situations.

As you probably know new revisions of ladspa has been up on the list before, I 
must say I find it a bit sad that none of these discussions seem to actually 
finalize into a new LADSPA revision.
I really feel that you guys need to find some common ground, we need some 
progress. As they say in the military; faced with a situation, doing nothing 
is the worst thing you can do.
Sorry for stepping on toes, but I'd hate for a good opportunity to fade away  
once again.

Kind regards,
Robert
