I don't buy it.
What we have seen is typical German Arrogance run amok.
Binner is a Novell employee only recently. Certainly not long enough to adopt your putative "Novell Paranoia". Certainly not long enough to understand Novell's standards of business ethics. He abuses his power. Then the rest of the KDE Mafia pile on. All posting from German IP addresses.
I call it "distrust of public dialogue" and you call it "arrogant abuse of power by the KDE mafia". (and as I said, I think the SUSE'ers had a closed-ness that was similar to Novell's own ...) I don't believe that any of these people are pure evil or pure goodness: you seem to expect that they are the former, and demand that they be the latter. I respect the intensity of your feeling about this project, and wanting/demanding openness and forthrighness. I think sometimes the tone gets in the way of being effective.
