You might not get a definitive answer (because there isn't one probably), but why don't you head over to the BTC Foundation forum and read the discussion there for yourself.
The foundation forum is open to the public now
For others who seek forum registration link: there was none, oda.krell's "open" means you can read their discussion. It look like that you may be able to post if you pay a membership fee.
Right, could have phrased that more clear.
But let me also clear about this: For months, non-Foundation board members in here have been complaining that the BF is doing shady business behind closed doors, and there's no accountability since their forum is off limits to the public.
Well, that changed. You can now *read* the discussion BF members are having. In order to *participate* in those discussion, you have to become a member still. Makes sense to me, I'd say.
