Are you for real?

What about when you updated the build to require motif by default? 
That's a lot worse than disabling a extension that is hardly used 
anymore or xterm which is maintained out-of-tree.

What about adding random new Xaw and Xprint programs to the monolithic 
tree even as we are planning to go modular?

What about silently adding Xprint dependencies to Xaw?

What about breaking the build for BSD (#909), a platform you surely 
don't own?

Yes, Daniel sometimes acts too quickly and without consulting the list, 
but it's not like you have a clean slate.  And for you to request a 
board meeting about Daniels behaviour... words fail me.
