Also, e.V. is the only practical way to gain some insight to the contributors' opinion, which was (ab)used for things like the Neon vote, but it still is not an excuse to (ab)use that even further. In reality, the position of project maintainers (in this case, mainly Plasma) is much more important than any statement the Board can offer (unless that statement is "we are passing on the unified message of various project maintainers we talked to ..." - but this would have the same effect as a same kde-promo statement, a dot article, etc.). Just a reminder from ev.kde.org (overly lazy to open the statute to see the proper definition :) ): > KDE e.V. is a registered non-profit organization that represents the KDE > Community in legal and financial matters. This is not a legal nor a financial matter. > Communication is difficult, especially if human beings are involved ;-). I do agree. My comments above are not in regard to the mail the Board sent to the KDE Neon ML, it is just the reality of things. Tthe Board can not really be expected to have the correct "perception of what KDE is doing as a whole" - they have a lot of things to do without following all the developments in the community. I do not have an an overview of all the things that the Plasma team is working on, and I'm a part of it.
