To make it short, closing down Sounder is a Bad Idea.

You can claim the decision wasn't emotionally motivated or a political
decision all you want but its what the community will "think the
reasons were" that counts.  The wise and more level headed decisions
would be to moderate the Sounder list than to close it completely.
That way the CC could avoid the "appearance" of impropriety and not
loose any of its credibility with the community.  As it is, word will
spread and there will be rumors and rumors are very hard to stamp out.

Canonical is causing more trouble for itself by closing Sounder than
they are resolving any issues.  In other words, this decision will
come back to haunt you.
