You've snipped a little severely there, and I think this is worth
getting straight.  The original context began with a reference to
active committers voting for a core group:

So when you refer to the supporting structure here:

are you really saying that you have had experiences where FreeBSD was
rejected when it became clear that the project was steered by a small
group of developers elected from a larger group of developers?  That
is, was the rejection based on a description of the core group concept
specifically, or some larger issue of support?
