My impression is that people don't want the board making technical
decisions, thus the charter doesn't say that it will. The only
decision that's "technical" is the release schedule stuff, and that is
more a matter of asking the maintainers what schedule is going to
work, not telling them which schedule must work. I can't actually
remember a technical issue the interim steering committee has dealt
with.
