Gavin joining the board of a company is not good news. Doesn't seem like the devs really care much about how something this looks. Logically next step that Bitcoin caters to 3-5 corporations.

Also online wallets are not good for the system. I mean, overall this is quite bad news. More homogeneity, more strange influences, etc. At this point if a couple of people would come together in a room, could corner the market. So next goal is to implement system which prevents something like this happening.
