It's a question of philosophy. I do not credit "the community" with enough maturity to be given any tool to modify the core engine or something as vital as FM/DM simply for the fact that too many people think they're god's gift to the flight simmers. I simply don't want to see that certain people are given power to influence anything, not when I consider them excessively biased WRT certain issues.
I very much like a level playground ... which is also why I am all for 3rd Party Development as long as it is done in conjunction with the developer. Anything else is in my opinion simply a way for some to strive for internet fame, regardless of the cost to the community as a whole.
