Even though I've never been a very active contributor to flashrom, I've been keeping an eye on the mailing list every now and then. When catching up today, I was very surprised to read Anastasia's email and follow-up exchanges. While I have nothing to say about the decision itself, I need to emphasis that communication around it feels very opaque and lacks any kind of reference besides vague statements. This kind of drastic decision can only be perceived as acceptable if it comes with precise and documented accounts of related wrong-doings as well as a clear account of how the decision was taken and by whom. Even the title of the thread is very misleading. So I wanted to express my disappointment and hope that such mistakes will not happen again in the future. I also hope that members of the community who were involved in this decision and the communication around it realize how it was perceived by other members of the community who are not part of these circles. This is not meant to be an attack on the project's leadership or the legitimacy of the decision that was taken, just feedback about how the communication around it feels from a semi-external point of view.
