Even if we suppose for the sake of argument that the decision
is sound on a technical level, this is poor leadership, and

D excels at the technical aspects, but time and time again has
shown that it lacks proper management / leadership. Contrary
to my own inclinations I'm compelled to suggest hiring a
*non-technical* person to take up the management/leadership
roles (emphatically non-technical, because let's face it, we
techies just don't have the people skillz it takes to do this
properly), because the current situation clearly isn't working,
and is quite detrimental to D and its future.

Ha ha. I tried suggesting something like this some yrs ago as I
saw it happen and deadalnix bashed me like crazy. Didn't
articulate it as well as you just did though. This needs to
happen.
