Sad that it has come to this. qemu is a community project, not a project
where "leaders" choose what's better for the community.

I don't disagree with the notion that if there's one person objecting to
a change, we should have a discussion and either get everyone onboard or
make changes for the general good.

But this "leader" card has been played in the past too and it's very
disturbing. It only works to fracture the community and if qemu has to
move forward, the committers have to realise it's not a dictatorship
that has to have the last word.
