I've no idea what background you have in software development, but it looks like you have a close to zero experience dealing with masses of users.
Well, let me give you a perspective of a +GIMP team member.
All the great free end-user software projects I can think of became great, because developers were communicating to users who thought along the same lines.
And it's the best way to work on a project, because you keep interacting with people and improving your work, while still belonging to yourself.
What happens when you let democracy in? Ugly mess. Suddenly people start treating you like you owe to them and should bow to their wishes.
— Hey developer, I used to use X application on Windows. I want the Y feature to be like in that app. What do you mean, it's supposed to work differently? Well, make it an option, you idiot.
— Hey developer, there is this app for Mac that's a bit like your app, except it's for a different target group, different use cases and different task applications. But I want one of its tools implemented verbatim anyway. And I want it now. Not going to? Well, I'm a user, and you should be listening to me!
That's just bullshit. Please keep your democracy to yourself.
If you want some free software to change, learn to encourage, learn to make well-fitted proposals that make sense, learn to understand design decisions, but also learn to accept that the developer is the one who has the final saying, because (s)he's the one who's responsible, not you.

tl:dr?
tl;dr — нехуй разводить демократию. Личкрафты нинужны.
Да они просто не осилили!</mva-mode>
Какое отношение личкрафты имеют к демократии?
ты мне лучше скажи, нахуя личкрафты ломятся на irc.domain:

Service discovery?
нет. В дискавери нету irc. Личкрафты сами туда лезли за каким-то хуем.
Есть, в айтемсах должно быть.
нет, нету, блядь. И не должно.
Хуйца сосни:

Ебать, 10 миллионов запросов уже за ~10 дней аптайма личкрафтов.
А, хм, я соснул. А нахуя там irc?
вот и я спрашиваю у тебя, нахуя они спрашивают irc
А, лол. Оно у меня в ростере прямо зачем-то.
УДОЛИЛ, больше не будет стучаться.
я даже не буду спрашивать, как оно туда попало
Я тестил гейтвеи когда-то очень давно.
