Can we gather the involved parties to set up new process for that?
That will mandate announce time and graceful wait after the
announcement for people to comment? Many times, since people are busy
with their stuff they might forget about a change like this coming,
even if it was communicated to -dev, so I think we should:

1) Always cross post to -community (the list is so low traffic that it
would not make a problem)
2) Allow a week's time for people to realize again the announcement
and let them respond, object, discuss again during that time before
the change starts over.
3) Make sure the change is done in small chunks but sequential, every
time **re-announcing** the parts affected on -community.

This sort of things keep repeating them selves, which is bad for the
project's reputation and for its progress.

Andre, maybe we need to have a "new" process like this approved by the
TSG to make it more "official" ?

Now I start thinking the meego critics team was not such a bad idea
after all...But everything is useless if people continue to ignore
workflow and process.
