Who said anything about a customer?

A newcomer to a community (i.e. Matthieu's student) needs not just to show technical excellence with patches, but needs to make a good argument on a larger design decision; old timers already tried to achieve a concensus on it, and did not manage to do so the last time we tried.

It is a tough topic for a newcomer developer to tackle.
