As has been indicated before, the board already has a stake in the 
discussion having expressed the desire to see Fedora as a better 
upstream and having initiated the SCM SIG. So it is not really a 
question of whether they should have a role but whether they should have 
a more active role in the discussions. Apparently the problem is now 
lack of people to do the tasks involved which is ok as long as the 
desire is clearly expressed so others can volunteer if they are interested.

I really have no personal stake on it. So this is a gross mis 
characterization and only distracts us from having a conversation about 
real issues. Please avoid doing so.
