I agree.. Historically, the TC has had a very strong stance that we 
should not fragment the community onto multiple platforms (for 
communication or development) or languages (for code or speech). The 
stated goal was to reinforce that OpenStack is a single project you join 
(and elect TC members to steward), rather than a loose coalition of 
several separate projects making independent choices.

So allowing different development platforms would definitely be a step 
in a whole new direction, and a pretty significant change. I'd expect a 
discussion on allowing different parallel communication platforms to 
follow next.
