If a still-fuzzy "variety of recent changes to that network" are the reason for this latest fire-drill/tempest, then just fyi,

To my read it doesn't seem as clear-cut as some are making it all out to be. If 'trust' is the underlying issue here, there seems to be enuf not passing the smell test on 'both sides'.
IME, projects want a place to talk that's trustworthy.
caveat emptor.
Andrew Lee has a flexible relationship with the truth. This is not a both sides issue, as every other free software project has also agreed.
