The required introspection is about how we function as an open source
community, I suspect.
We don't fit the usual open source mold, and generally cooperate
quite poorly with one another (with some notable exceptions).
Our projects aren't particularly well integrated, and don't lead in a
coherent directions.

Probably they made the right decision, unless we choose to address
these issues.  We might not *want* to address these issues, but we
should be aware of them.
