What kind of feedback does Ace require? I've replied to some of his
concerns on that mail, does he need a more formal response from the EC?
Isn't that a bit overkill? What is blocking Ace at the moment? I think
that if he breaks what he wants to do in smaller pieces and keep
everyone up to date on his intentions, then things should be fine.

I think they should be stored at the best logical place where people
would expect to find them, as well as being consistent with the use of
the other teams.

The WikiSite in the URL is excessive, I don't think it's necessary.
Besides that, from my perspective the rest seems like details.

Indeed, it's a tedious job and I think everyone appreciates his work. I
think things might have gotten just slightly out of proportion. Let's
learn from this and make things go smoother in the future.
