Without this management style Elm would be the oppositive of what it is today (simple language, very fast compiler, efficient tree shaking, no runtime exceptions) wanting to add at all costs Haskell features and JS direct sync interop.

Because of that management style, it has been bitrotting for FOUR YEARS and has even gotten forked by a couple people involved so at least some progress could continue.

I simply don't think locking down the compiler so only blessed Elm devs can modify internals was necessary. I don't think the flack given to people forking the repo was necessary. Say no to pull requests, fine. Don't try to control the technology.
