Not at all.  Firstly, the "driver" (as you put it) was not at this=20
session, and in fact the installer was imported *before* this session, so=
=20
the "driver went left" before people were even talking about it.  (My=20
reading of the svn log is that the "one big root" was just part of the=20
initial import and not given a whole lot of thought.)
Secondly, it was not a vote; it was more of a straw poll, and no strong=20
opinions were really voiced.
Thirdly, no one was tasked with going off and telling Nathan the results=20
of it, so (since he wasn't there) I find it hard to blame him for failing=
=20
to go and scour the entire devsummit wiki to see if something relevant to=
=20
the installer might possibly have happened then.
