As much as I respect Rachel and Morten, and the commitment towards open governance, I'm certain Matt won't give up control of the project. It's directly connected to his business goals.

The 'unsanctioned' response is a defensive move.

Just remember, when you see the word "leadership" leveraged in org's communication, it means Matt, andpaid lip service by any other definition or maneuver. Hope I'm wrong, but this was a calculated response.
