DNS was your example of necessary centralized service, and you mentioned 
OpenID as a service that requires it. Other centralized technology is 
avoidable, and I think we should strive for decentralization.
I still don't see what's more authoritative than the oldest of wiki FB 
descriptions, since obviously we won't all agree on everything said here.

I truly think decentralization (as a liberation tool) is undoubtedly one 
of primary purposes of FreedomBox, and one of the most important goals. 
(Even if we didn't take a vote.)
