Actualy -- I've heard exactly the argument that Cristoph is making from the
desktop team.  The one time that I can remember enough context around to
remember the time frame was when they decided to stop having weekly IRC
meetings to discuss what work had just been done/what work was going to be
done.

So I don't know if it's true but I do know that it was given as the reason
that one thing other SIGs take for granted as a matter of operating was
abandoned.
