Change has never come easy in fidonet. This was true in z1 even before
it was true on other zones. There has always been room for improvement
in fidonet but it has been difficult to get a concensus. If you can
arrange that then change is possible. I don't think there is ever
going to be a consensus on the z7 idea. I'm not slamming it, just
calling it the way I see it.
