One would hope that their respective roles in the larger community would
also be given appropriate weight.

The likes of implementers (of protocols), whether in the open-source 
community
or as an employee of a vendor of hardware or software, should be given 
as much,
if not more, consideration.

Ditto folks who are involved in designing/building host operating systems or
equivalent embedded systems.

Remember, the whole "Internet" thing is only a way for computers to talk...
and every "router" or "gateway", is basically a general-purpose computer
optionally with some extra, special-purpose hardware attached.
