This doesn't change the unhealthy attitude displayed by most people here about a positive progress in terms of structural organisation. Plus Anton's point on transparency.
Likely because I've been awake for about two hours longer than I typically am, high on adrenaline and am feeling the crash. I do not consider an increasingly bureaucratic method like this to be a positive one, at the very least due to the again, arbitrary time investment in the form of a credit fee numbering 1 billion. There are many issues with the document from a technical standpoint, such as a lacking definition for what exactly is an RCR-worthy item (Examples, etc.), as well as, much like Reeves noted, and how Kazinsal notes, that it's a game of social standing more than merit.
I am not certain that we can include transparency as something we can argue, considering the developers have demonstrated at least some tendency to abscond with details at convenient points. See, yet again, XA officialdom. You can't necessarily have people in charge to be honest without exercising some kind of force, and the only force the community would have would be collective bargaining, a la trade unions, and boycotting. Which, might not even work, if the devs are ultimately apathetic to the state of the game's population numbers, as implied by the lack of passion motivating them.
