If you, Peter, Simon, Robert, Heikki, Magnus, Peter G., Greg, Bruce and Andrew agreed on a calendar-driven, mostly unambiguous process and adhered to that process, then the one or two people who didn't follow along wouldn't matter. Everyone else would follow you. The reason things are chaotic now is that our lead committers do not have consensus and are even inconsistent from CF to CF individually.

In other words: the problem is only unsolvable because *you* think it's unsolvable. If you decide the problem is solvable, you already have the means to solve it.
