My objection is that the community didn't get a chance to discuss the
changes at all, whether on perl5-porters or nay. The changes were
announced after being decided by an apparently closed group---and were
already considered sufficiently finalised that a book has been released
by one of the group about preparing for the changes, announced in the
very same post. It looks very much like a fait accompli.

Per my original question, would you please go into more detail on why
perl5-porters was intentionally insulated from this decision?
Could you also clarify why you felt it necessary to mislead the list
about the existence of these plans in the post I linked?

Well, now that the changes the group intends to make are public, would
you tell *us* who was involved, and how they were selected?

Maybe we can bring back the light.
