Re: [eclipse-dev] Please help me stop the context menu abuse

I am severly disappointed how this change have just been turned down by the PMC.

What mailing list should one be on to hear the arguments against it ?

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=231611 just says:

"The PMC feels that it's too late for product teams that want to ship
simultaneously with 3.4 to respond to the change."

What product teams is it that wont be able to respond to the change ?
Let me know and I'll give them resources to create the 2-3 lines diff that is needed
within the week.

If it is some external closedsource products then I can't help but remember this change
does not prevent the old way of cluttering the menu so what is the problem ?
