Why is it such a transgression to bring the discussion to foundation-l? The change was discussed on meta, announced on the otrs lists, etc... I'm not clear on what was left to decide in the discussion on OTRS, or why that discussion couldn't happen on a list with broader participation. The Foundation's position on identification affects not only OTRS volunteers, but also stewards, checkusers and ombuds committee members, among others, and anyone who is considering volunteering for those roles.
