I know that Keith has explained how the process worked numerous times, on this list and elsewhere, but I could never understand it. The trunk process is easy to understand, easy to participate in and easy to observe.

At the end of the day, though, they were rejecting somebody's work, and I doubt that any amount of diplomacy could have made that go over well. I don't see any need to impose additional rules or restrictions on what the board can do. The existing system of governance works fine.
