I'd be concerned that a language that did not achieve its stated goals 
might also suffer the same fate. Regardless I will take it at face value, 
and conclude Lojban has reached a type of impasse, perhaps inevitable.

Clearly there are two camps of thought: There are those, like yourself, who 
wish to see the language frozen, unassailable from all but minor 
adjustments, wanting to get on with *using* the language, and see the 
language's death in any further modification. Then there are those who see 
a language that has not yet reached it's fruition --still in need of work, 
minor or significant, and in seeing those "holes", see a dead language in 
one that is no longer evolving.

There is no reconciliation of these two views. The only solution is a fork.
