Ah, but isn't this contradicted by Mr. Dewar's argument (and yours
below) that lobby has no value unless accompanied by money?

That sentiment would be an argument against enabling voting. I
certainly would not want to give assurances any stronger than that I
just *might* take votes into account occasionally.
If that is your attitude, and it reflects the attitude of other primary
GCC developers, then voting or lobbying are indeed meaningless.
