I think we are going out of focus with this, and i think here are 2 relevant ideas here:
1) This was a MUST rather than an optional desition, speaking from myself i wouldn't volunteer myself for a position that will be dismissed in 3 months, and if this was found as a better way from the CC, i'm ok with that, at the end, like with country governments, be elected them to represent ALL of us for this kind of positions, and this obviusly wasn't a canonical or marks desition keeping in mind that Canonical employees are the less in the CC. 2) There could be a better way to communicate this, i think it would be less objectable if the announcement said "We decided this and we are going to do it unless there are good reasons against" rather than "We just did this", though i still don't have clear if it has already been done or is going to happen in the near future. Just as a disclaimer, i'm speaking here from myself as a community member, and as such, i think we have way more to do than arguing against a good desition from our governance body, at the end, that's why it's there.
