I actually agree, I just see no reason why those few flag-waving
individuals need to come exclusively from core (or as a side-effect of
some sort of core mandate) at all.  During our almost 9 years of
history, I've seen more of those folks come from out of "nowhere" than
I have seen them come from the "center" of the FreeBSD project.

I think that just goes to show that the cause of flag-waving has no
center.  It's a highly de-centralized process and I certainly don't
see that as some kind of problem.
