The truth is the community never received a proper explanation for this; I implore you to find one.

This isn't something that can just be whisked away.
But why now?
It looks like georgem is gaining nice momentum.
I can't wait to see more.
What's your sudden fascination with something that happened a year ago?

Well, I agree he is gaining momentum. I have said I like where things are going. I wouldn't be donating if I didn't.
Why
now though?
No real particular reason. It was brought up, and now seems like a good time to address the issue because he has signaled that he is going to be more committed to the community and doing regular updates. Although action is better than words, I think an explanation in this matter would further show his commitment to the things he says he will do in the coming months.
The real question is "Would an explanation help the community or would it not?"
If an explanation would serve the project well (and I think evidence points to that being the case), then what possible reasons would there be to not do so?
