While I agree with the TRT's decision, I also agree with Jeff that the process by which it came about could have been handled better. After three years of "encouraging" the abruptness of the final decision came as a bit of a shock. Sure, discussion beforehand may not have changed the outcome, but it would still have been better if the TRT had announced that they was going to make it *very soon* and then moderate the discussion before the decision rather than make it and put out the fires afterward. They're responsible for making decisions about the repository. I don't get a say, never have, and probably never will. I can accept that -- maybe because I appreciate that someone is doing that work that I don't have the time for. So I consider it a service that someone is maintaining some kind of standard as a starting place for my own theme related work. For me it was more the "surprise, we made a decision" aspect of it that sat poorly.
