I agree that while possibly made with good intentions, policy changes like these should go through dev community discussion + vote, not be handed down from a CTO. Wikipedia as a movement started that way, and many people participated in it because of its transparency and community-driven process. Just because now there is a large split between "community" and "WMF staff who gets +2 automatically", we should try to keep the original values.
