Unfortunately, a few minutes after posting the above statement, Stefan sent an email to u-m saying he's no longer sure if he wants to be involved with Ubuntu Development. I'm not sure if these things are connected, but given the timestamps it's certainly possible. When you're at the top of the pyramid, it's easy to view discussions and information as "procedural pedantry". When you're at the _bottom_ of the pyramid, working your behind off for the common good of the project, it is equally easy to become demotivated if you start feeling you're taken for granted and that relevant information doesn't come your way. It's in everybodys good interest to maintain a high level of information and discussion, and since everybody has stated that they have no problem with the actual outcome of the decision, that should pose no problem. What is relevant is that everybodys desire to be "in the loop" is satisfied.
