It's not only a poorly worded announcement, it's a problem of not
working with the others, and deciding upon them without any
input. It's still the same communication problem, still the same "this
is *MY* corner of the Project, GO AWAY!".

Everybody involved in this infamous proposal (I'd rather say "plan",
but rumour has it that it's only a proposal).

Sure, and I won't say the contrary. But having a great infrastructure
(which is the case) and great people doing good work is of no help in
making Debian if you haven't got any packages. We have some 10k+
packages, only a fraction of them are actually maintained by those
people.

That's what I meant to say.
