Why did anything have to be disclosed at all then? Pascal wrote a lengthy public email about the whole thing, saying
"As you probably all know by now, the openSUSE Board recently revoked an individual's membership as well as his access to the openSUSE infrastructure."
It seems that quite a few people knew nothing at all about this, so making it public only served to provoke more questions :-)
Yes, that is true. Initially no statement was to be made. However questions were already coming up and the board felt that doing a public statement would be the best way to address that.
