Well, we all likely share a part. We all could have yelled louder if we wanted; it might have changed some things here and there. But I for one kept mostly quiet until now as I was willing to accept some bumpy time to get the merge done for F7. But F7 is out now, so now we need to get things in a better shape again. I'm actually *wondering* if we should have a "spare time packagers committee" (or something like that) that represents the packagers that do their package maintenance work in their spare time. They afaics sometimes simply don't have the time and the power to get their opinion heard without investing even more of their rare spare time. > One aspect: They allowed things to happen the way they happened and did > not intervene when things began to derail. > > A question closely related to this: Would have FESCo been in a position > to intervene? I am inclined to think no. I'm inclined to think "yes, if they wanted to". > The real decisions are taken elsewhere. Well, that's why I'm urging the board to clarify the work areas for the Board and FESCo. That is lingering around for months now (see fab-archives) and it seems everyone has different expectations in that area. Regarding that: I still wondering why there is a FESCo election scheduled for the near future when it's unclear what FESCo and its members will be responsible for. But it seems that's just me, as I did not even get one reply to my mail regarding that topic.
