I find that statement troubling... just the idea that a basic tenet of
governance is something that people would not "like" the *community* to
know is somehow uncomfortable to me. What happened to the idea of open and
transparent governance?

It's not all that new or unique and, imo, it would benefit OpenStack to
learn from others, or at least listen to those who have done stuff like
this before. Otherwise, it's very easy to justify all decisions, whether
good or bad, based on "no one has ever tried this before".
