I have been mostly out of this thread, since I don't think I have anything constructive to add, but I thought I would chime in on this.
While I agree that this change seems to fly in the face of the original vision that we founded Habari on, the most important tenant of Habari is that we are a project that is driven by our community. Things have been done in core, and added to core that I was not excited about, but the community spoke and we listened. If we stop doing that, then I don't really see a reason for the project to continue. Owen has put the question to the community and from them we will see if having this in core is right for Habari or not. If there is overwhelming hatred of this move, then we know we have done something wrong, if there is support then we know it was right. I would urge you to remember what Habari was really founded on, which is the concept that the community is king, and not leave because the project has grown up into something other than what is started as. All children do that, we shouldn't abandon them just because the look different today than when they were born. Just my 2c.
