I'm not sure which was [2] in the version you read, but that sounds like firing up a web browser and visiting another site, rather than a short explanation *in* the introduction. Joey funded a lot of DWN work, so has quite some control, and few complained about it until he was demotivated by money. So, each edition's leader includes passing mentions of why the Weekly isn't weekly any more. As news reporting, it would be fair for DWN to point out all negative effects of dunc-tank - which are going to last long after the end of their funding - and I think Joey has been quite restrained, given his strong views on it. Personally, I'd like to see DWN point out more things that have fallen off due to Dunc-Tank, ready for the evaluation. Dunc-tank's supporters have steadfastly refused to tell how they think we can measure whether or not the so-called experiment has been successful. I expect much hand-waving in the coming months and I hope that the debian media will help scrutinise the DPL on this. Do people have a problem with how funding can be used to control the project from half-outside the community at the minute? If so, take it up with debian-release and dunc-tank...
