You didn't really leave room for productive discussion between your options, did you? :)
As you can see from https://github.com/mozilla/pkipolicy/blob/master/rootstore/policy.md#8-ca-operational-changes , notification is required for certain changes - but that notification goes to a Mozilla mail alias, not to the public lists. As such, one should not presume that because of a lack of public discussion, there was a lack of notice. With respect to "rumor mill reported as fact", considering the people named in the first article you mentioned include the CEO of Comodo CA and the Chairman of the Board, it seems that the only way this would be "rumor mill" is based on whether or not eweek and securityweek are reputable organizations, right?
