Will minutes of the meeting be made available ? This is a rather drastic step to be taken, and it comes as rather a big surprise, so i believe that full minutes of the meeting having taken that decision should be in order. I also wonder about the absense of porter representative in said meeting and said taking of decision, not mentioning the rest of the project. Speak about communication and transparency. I don't think this will be a good PR move though, we will probably see a slashdot thread about "Debian dropping all architectures except the main 4" or something such soon.
