Try to be more visible then, posting what's up with Indiana and what
changes to the project are being discussed. Instead it appears that you
only show up when shit hits the fan on one of the mailing lists.

Not that I don't get the reason behind the decision, actually I feel
positive towards it because we get things like ZFS root and Caiman
quicker this way, but for being a community thing, there's quite a bunch
of things being decided in private.

Yeah, well, maybe I'm a bit cranky because said marketing is advocating
how the open community is influencing and participating in Indiana, yet
requires a troublemaker stepping on someone's foot to actually notified
about a rather fundamental decision.
