It is up to us as a community (indeed) to see what would fit in the distro and what not. But wouldn't if be even better to validate those things against our userbase?
Yes nobody is arguing that. The questions is who decides what we do based on this input. And that's the one who does it. If 90% of the users (you ask in fate) are against something it's still in the doer's discretion to do it anyway.
In the end if we are becoming a Foundation and we want to raise money, then we are becoming dependent on our userbase.
Being dependent on your userbase doesn't mean you are bound to do as they say.
History is filled with dead companies that didn't listen to their users. Distros only exist for their users, I don't think distros are likely to get away with ignoring that risk.
