Interesting to see how everyone is keeping awfully quite about what 
happened when the wormhole was created between the fedora-desktop 
channel on freenode and gimpnet and why they ( The other side ) wanted

Nobody is *accusing* upstream Gnome for a lack of transparency.

It's the Fedora Gnome Desktop Team that's being *accused for the lack of 
transparency and general communication to and with the Fedora community's.

Being *upstream* is no excuse for not communicating to the project.

Fedora != Gnome ( atleast not at this point )
