FPC is not that crazy of an organization. Yes, I know in the past there's been drama between its members and other haskellers over stack/cabal etc., but I'd feel more comfortable if the Foundation were able to muster the diplomatic finesse to overcome that.

They are not crazy, they are just of the "I'm doing it!" instead of the "Do you think this is the best?" kind of people. They created some very good stuff (yeah, stack is great, even though I mostly stop at cabal myself), but that's not a committee member attitude.

Anyway, its not a big deal. I even doubt they will have more or less influence over anything because of that decision. It's not like unofficial communication will stop.
