That's your problem with open source a la GNOME

There are well maintained Open Source projects that have effectively a BDFL and don't lose focus. Go language or Lua come to mind.

But people like to complain "Go is Google's language" because it's authors rejected some fringe proposal. Not that I like Go, but there are many ways of doing open source.
