So why didn't you publish anything about it? You've had tons of chances to make amends to the io.js community before the merge - a simple "I know what io.js is" tweet would have done it, or a blog post, or even a comment on the article or the HN discussion or reddit discussion it caused. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people deserve credit for the fantstic work on the merge (by mainly, people like mikeal) but don't think the community is not worried about the governance model or that people enjoy the fact the board sits above the TC, it's a necessity because projects need money but it's not like the community forgets why the split happened in the first place.
