Hello Stanislav, noone disagrees to any work any company is willing to do. Infact we should be extremely happy about the work done by some IBM people lately (to stay with the same company example). At least I am for one really happy! However hiding in some secret rooms and deciding something that might or migfht not affect everyone in the PHP company is different. It is different from any kind of spirit we had and developed in more than ten years. It is different from some access controls executed over CVS to not loose control and directing responsibilities. It simply is not open source. Just read a dictionary on "open" and the web provides enough written stuff on "open source". Let's keep it open and maintain the PHP spirit. That does not prevent any company of contributing to open source. If so then they are not willing to do open source. Then they have to accept the open source model. Not the open source model has to change.
