I personally like these discussions about C++. Yes, I think C++ should continue to be C++. I also like it that way.

On the other hand, having a bit more transparency into the workgroups and their way of doing things may allow the process become a bit more efficient, approachable, and maybe would allow shedding some of the problems which have accumulated due to being so isolated from the world.

Some of the alleged events really leave a bad taste in the mouth, and really casts a shade of doubt for the future of C++.

Lastly, alienating people by shredding their work and bullying them emotionally is not the best way to build a next generation of caretakers for one of the biggest languages in the world. It might not fall overnight, but it'll certainly rot from its core if not tended properly. Nothing is too big to fail.
