I must say that I'm left perplexed by all this. Michael, would you mind
telling us:
- who is "We" as "we did not want to move focus away"
- why this secrecy? Do you remember it's an open source project?
- "we will be consulting with all of the stakeholders... " so let me
  rephrase: you're doing something apparently in secret then will
  battle hard to defend it in front of the community? That's about the
  most unproductive thing I can think of here, and it reminds me of the
  Drupal misunderstanding. Nobody has ever talked about an extension
  store/website, although it's definitely something we need to address.
  But working this way around just does not help.
