But *we*, the Technical Board, have not made this decision.

If you, in your role as Platform Team manager, have made this decision -
or discussed it with your direct reports, that's a completely different
matter.

It's your responsibility to bring that discussion to the technical board
if you feel that it's an issue the TB deserves to be aware of.

I haven't seen any of the discussion, and not to put a too fine a point
on it, neither have the community members, or journalists, who've asked
me what the hell was going on -- and pointed me at the mailing list
archive of your mail.

Which is my entire point.

We should not be expressing technical views, whether personal or
considered after discussion, on this mailing list *without* backing up
with technical argument.

This is not ubuntu-devel.
