I believe you missed my point.
I don't claim that the board ignored this issue. Far from it.
I am claiming that having the board make this decision without the
involving of the community is slowly (?) driving both developers and
users away.

As for the coming FESCO election, I may be alone on this matter, but
even though I took the time to read the nominees mission statement, I
can't say that I really know what each nominee think about this issue.
This more-or-less negates the effectiveness of using the coming FESCO
election as a policy changer. (Though as I said, I may be alone on this
issue)
