Tony,
It isn't unreasonable. I'll even capitulate on this, if the community
thinks the project can function without a triage system. I'm just
concerned the tracker and task queues will become an unmanageable mess
over time. This happened on LEAF, and I still haven't sorted the mess
out. It also happened to SF (Alexandria). Jacob Moorman was able to put
a triage system in place that corrected the problem. Take a look at
their queue for an example of what I'd like to see us implement.

It is. Opinions are how consensus is achieved. It's often a messy
process, but the results are worth while. :-)

SF projects can make use of selected features. The phpWebSite ASU team
decided to make use of SF forums, trackers, and developers mailing list.
They desired local control of these resources at ASU: CVS repository,
website, and cvs notice list. phpWebSite Community Development was
founded to allow third parties a place to contribute to phpWebSite, as
access to the ASU cvs repository is restricted, etc.

I would also, but all the alternatives have features equivalent to the
ones provided by SF available.
