I hate picking this up but you are wrong - the decision was definetly
not "3 vs 2 for the merge". In fact David always said he not really
wants to be involved in all the merge-discussion and -decision.
Basically the situation was "2.5 vs 1.5 against the merge". 

Currently we have a situation where I (personally) am looking forward to
work with all of you and I think it is highly counterproductive to throw
out announcement after anouncement. Obviously this only leads to more
ongoing conflicts (examples Guillaume/Mike, Kristian/Me).

All we have to do (from my point of view) would be organizing ourselves
into smaller teams, wire up some communication-system (forum/list/...)
for the teams and then start getting productive ...

Why can't we just stop thinking about tomorrow and the day after
tomorrow and instead work on today's tasks?

The WEB-team focuses on the website-discussion and -improvement, the
COREDEV-team focuses on improving the core (they even have their own
list already and I think this works well), the PLUGDEV-team focuses on
porting/improving/inventing old/new plugins, the APPDEV-team creates a
settingsTool/pluginIfaceForDecorator/startupManager, the DOC-team gets
its ass up and writes down good developer/user-documentation ...

Whenever a team needs something from another team, two elected
team-"speakers" should handle that (to avoid accidentally having two
"opponents" needing to work with another :D). 

Once again: if we behave like little children we should try to use
kindergarten-tactics to handle us and get us to work ;) ... And, as you
all may remember, in kindergarten/school they use to form small groups
to increase productivity and reduce the "noise".
