I don't think there's anything about this situation that points to a problem
with the decision-making processes. The DebConf talks team is the
appropriate team to make the decision of whether to accommodate such an
impromptu request, and that is who made the decision.
I said earlier that if it had been up to me, Linus would not have been
invited. But it was not up to me; it wasn't even up to the talks team. The
invitation came from *outside* the DebConf team. It was up to the talks
team to decide whether to accommodate the request. If they had consulted me
before accepting the talk, I would have objected; but they had no obligation
to consult me, and the decision would have still been theirs to make even if
I had objected.
