Please assume good intent here.  I read mjw's comment as "some people
think that since there was no real plan...", which is a perfectly valid
thing to report on.

And while you say intents are clear, I'm one of the doubters.  Folks
have been "clear on intent" for years now, but it's all behind the
scenes and so far nothing has come of it.  From the point of view of the
regular contributors, all we see is two sides saying "our side is better
and we're doing things our way" but such anti-discussions do not
generate trust and confidence that something useful will happen.
