Well, not really. Adoption of a particular standard is always publicly
discussed, as it is happening right now. However, my point is that if
you want to influence such a decision, you should really consider
participating in the discussion rather than just asking hundreds of
people with little knowledge of the actual problem to send the very same
message hundreds of times on the list where the discussion is supposed
to happen.
