And, lest this be misconstrued, I don't think this is at all
incompatible with "benevolent dictator" roles.

The thing about benevolent dictators in the mode of e.g. Linus or Matz
is that there is is an essential freedom to their rule -- people follow
them not because they are forced or obligated to, but because they want
to.  That also means occasionally people won't.  Life goes on.

Matz fashions Ruby as he will, and people come to him because it is
good.
