I agree with you that this is something to explore and rethink, but I
wonder if the result won't be better if all that rethinking and
redesigning process would be done together and with participation of
*all* the community and looking for the best solution.

Yes I think this is the plan, I don't believe that this would be done in a silo within CPE. I am pretty sure that if this the way forward we (as Fedora) want to explore this will involve a lot of iteration and solicitation for contribution and feedback.
 
Now we
autolimited the possibilities, part of the community already chose a
path to go forward for all the community, the rethinking and redesigning
proccess is tied to and limited by that decision.

Indeed I think this is fair for the people that are involved in that work to make the decision. I recognized that the communication and the transparency of the decision has not been good, but I still think that making a decision was a good thing.
