I'm not so sure, I sometimes have the feeling they believe they vote  
on what is "approved" and what is "not approved", for the project as  
a whole, not only for beginner recommendations. Maybe a vote should  
be held on this.

It is not only impossible to start off with a perfect schema, it is  
impossible to reach a perfect schema, ever.
