The only things I can think of, which IMO aren't evidence of the process
being broken, are:

1. I */HATE /*IRC. Most folks type so slowly, it's like pushing my head
slowly through gelatine to get anything done. Actually, the SPI board is
better than most in this regard. IRC with mere mortals rather than 80
WPM-typing hackers is pure torture.

2. The IRC mechanism requires all of the players to be there at the same
time. There are time-zone difficulties. Some of us would like to
consider issues and vote at times of our own choosing, rather than one
interval that everyone compromises upon.

Thanks
