It wasn't really vetoed. I just said that _I_ didn't want to run a Wiki,
for much those reasons. I also pointed out that having a minor barrier
to entry wasn't _necessarily_ a bad thing. Hell, most days even I
shouldn't be permitted to commit to it. Why should we open it to the
world? :)

Send patches if you want to make changes. If you make a habit of sending
patches we actually want to apply, we'll give you an account and you can
do it yourself. That's the way it's always worked for the code, and it
doesn't seem to have been much of a problem.
