+Hmm, from the people who participated in the initial discussion which
+led to the council compromise I count 2 in favor of the limitation,
+the rest against it. This I call a majority.
+During the 8 months since we have this issue I read lots of complaints
+about the limitation, I did not read any post in favor of it. This is
+what I call a majority.
+
+In an election or a poll (a democratic process) how much weight do
+those have who do not give their vote? In every election there is a
+number of people who do not vote, either because they don't care or
+none of the given options is to their liking. But I haven't seen an
+election or poll where the "silent" number was counted in favor for
+one side or the other. So, if you are talking about the silent
+majority I can ask you rightfully, on which side the silent majority
+would be.

+Then you think that his behavior is ok and everybody who doesn't like
+it can leave? That is not funny. It is against all that Mageia stands
+for.
+I think we do not have different opinions, we are living in different worlds.
