I'm afraid you're mixing fantasy with fact. If you read my major post on the issue, you'll be reminded I didn't take a stand for or against new forums, but chose to ask valid questions about the need, purpose, situation, and scope. The process is/was clearly unfair to date, since the participation of those most impacted by the proposal weren't a major part of the discussion. It doesn't matter frankly if the mostly closed viewpoint of the mailing list discusses the issue for 50 years if the existing forums aren't a big part of that discussion. The process was never defined, the key decision maker is still not yet identified (although I've heard opinions on who that is), and the representatives of the forums, when they tried to engage on the topic, were for the most part completely ignored. In any part of the world I know of, that's not considered fair. I think I bring an important viewpoint to this particular issue. If we were talking kernel development, I'd be quiet as usual, but in this case we're talking something I know a lot about...SUSE forums.
