Quite. As Jimmy notes in the WP:AN discussion which has already been linked to:
I was instructed to inform the community by the Board of the WMF and advised by the Foundation comms and legal staff that a post to wikimedia-l and to my talk page would be the right way to do it... I can equally imagine that if I had defied the board and refused to communicate with the community about it, someone would be getting inflamed over that.
