+It's not even a question of tool here. The decision process was
+presented, explained ahead of it to happen, several times, here, on
+the wiki page, and no serious objection was raised about it. The way
+this decision happened, for that matter, from the founding board,
+having read, checked and reflected upon the feedback from the
+community, is legitimate. Questioning this after the game is...
+curious.
+
+We will improve and use the voting platform for further decisions, but
+there will be decisions that will be taken only from the board, or
+from the council or from all team members, depending on the
+context/decision; but not from anyone just passing by.
+
+And remember, council/board members will be elected, for that matter.
+Here, the founding board obviously takes this role for the time being,
+as it triggered Mageia and sets the basic bricks.
+
+This leads back to the team constitution process; the discussion about
+which has not been closed, several weeks ago and we will have to come
+to something clear before this voting process can be more widely used.

+
+That's what the open discussion here (that many participated in) was
+for. The board did not vote from nowhere without having checked others
+views.
+
+We can and will improve, but please do take into account that the
+decision process has been announced and open to debate long enough
+before we did come to vote.
+
+Cheers,
