In the past I had the impression that pragmatism was more important than the by-laws. But I suppose people have changed; after all some are starting to compare TU-ship with a professional job.
It was, and then too many people got lazy and it became a problem.
Is it a problem or are you making it a problem?
Sure, people like xterminus, willysilly create awkward situations, but I think we should just silently clean those cases up and keep working with the people who *do* function properly. We simply cannot protect ourselves fully from cases like that, since the one and only way to know if a person is worth anything is to give that person a chance to work and see what happens in half a year.
