As a TCG site rep person, I will say that the perception was "we got
lucky" ... it turned out to be a lot easier than was expected by some
people.
As myself, I suspect there was a substantial resistance to further work
on the lcg-CE because there was no project-wide support to really
develop it, on the other hand the fact that it continued to be supported
removed pressure to get the new CE working. I have sympathy for this;
the people producing the working CE should be getting the bucks.

The decision in the TCG was taken Wednesday, that's only two days ago.
I suspect there has been no official announcement because it hasn't gone
to the PMB yet.
