I'm surprised that this was announced on debian-announce before it had first
been announced on d-d-a[1], since that does carry a higher risk that a
decision that has been announced to the general public may be reverted due
to lack of support. Nevertheless, the distinction between "Debian decided"
and "a delegate decided on behalf of the project" is not one that is
relevant on debian-announce.
