I would much rather see such proposals discussed in the approriate public forums (eg Factory list) rather then the Board misusing it's
I would much rather see such proposals discussed by the appropriate people who are actually involved, affected and knowledgeable about the issue (=> RelEng Team) rather than spamming eg the Factory list and causing a huge buzz, only to have the RelEng Team chime in later and say "hey, nice discussion, but it's not feasible at all for Reason XXX"
meetings to make decisions of this type and then further abusing its position of trust to insert one of it's members into existing meetings and processes.
I trust the RelEng Team to not let its decisions and processes be badly influenced by a member of the board, but only by technical necesseties and available resources.
The openSUSE RelEng Team meetings already have Board representation under it's scope as a facilitator of discussions with the community, so it is plainly obvious to me that Axel's addition is stretching beyond that.
This should not be acceptable.
