As Brian P. has already sort of implied, some might find it hard to
believe in the total sincerity of a change to Discourse for debian-user
(a community of users for users by users) in the name of inclusiveness
and respectfulness (dixit Steve M.) that expressly does *not* include (and
therefore cannot rightfully respect) debian-users in the decisional
discourse, who had to rely on a heads up by Reco to abruptly discover we
had a King who fails to consult his subjects.
