I cant mention that which hasn't happened. And I think the way the Board is conducting itself in this matter gives me grounds, as a member, to have doubts whether the Board will follow through with any of it's promised actions.
...which I get the feeling you don't have any trust in the board doing what it says it will be doing. If that's the case you might want to run a distrust motion against the board. We (the community) have some experience with these.
If the Board's only reaction to negative feedback from openSUSE Members is to stubbornly refuse to consider that feedback and instead escalate the situation by saying "if you dont like it, run a distrust motion", then I don't think the very concept of a Board is suitable for a Project with openSUSE's Guiding Principles. Thankfully, I know from the experience that the Board can operate with more nuance than the binary choice you post here. It is true, I currently have my doubts about the Board, justified by the actions/inactions of the Board and the responses in this thread. That said, I retain hope that some individuals in the Board will be able to influence things so that the Board may act more consistently with the Project's Guiding Principles in the future. So I will not be baited into escalating my disapproval into a full blown motion for your removal from the Board. I think having my disapproval publicly stated is the only way available for the Board to improve in the spirit of openness, quality, transparency and respect which the Project is meant to operate under.
