Thanks for this undogmatic and constructive criticism to my proposal.
It's always nice getting positive feedback about the work one does for
Emacs, and about technical proposals to improve it.  Makes me really
proud to be project maintainer for several important Emacs packages as
well as an active Emacs developer.

Perhaps one of your goals for a German Emacs user group could be to
organize taking package maintenance into the hands of less dogmatic
and destructive people?  It is not exactly that I was overly keen on
becoming, say, AUCTeX maintainer, and you certainly sound like you
would be much better suited to motivate people to participate in
projects aimed at improving the user experience of Emacs.
