Organizations are necessarily slower to communicate than individuals, give them a couple days. People need to chill out before jumping to conclusions like that.

		Organizations should not do things like this without having their communication done in advance. They new what they were going to do, so they should have the blog post explaining exactly what and why they were doing to release (at the latest) at the same time.

		What why? An organization is made up of individuals who had a heads up because they had a bunch of meetings and made the decision to do this, if anything they had a head start on communication. Their silence is their choice.

		Based on the OP, the initial changes were made 10 days ago - more than enough time to communicate something publicly.

		They couldn't email longtime contributors with a heads up, here's whats happening before revoking commit rights and making changes like this? That's nonsense.
