I did not say that representatives are decison makers. As its position
indicates, they "represent" their respective communities. Their vote (or
decision) *must* be their communities one.
On the other hand, if every aspect of the distro should be voted on by each
and every one of its users, the process of implementing a change would be
too slow for what we are accustomed. I do not see the community voting en
masse (and agreeing!) On every aspect of the distro.
The "central hub" should be seen as a "parliament", where users (who have
previously elected their representatives) are represented.
