I don't think it is a new trend in ubuntu development to take this kind
of decisions without trying to reach consensus first: the switch from
Bugzilla to Launchpad was decided in the same way.

The decision-taking process inside Ubuntu doesn't seem to work well. It
might be a good idea to let a larger part of the community participate
in it, for example by implementing informal polls inside the
ubuntu-members or ubuntu-developpers groups (Launchpad supports that
already).
