Do you think Intel's decision is for the good of the "community" as some people call it?
You are just choosing your own dictator... But alas, everyone does reserve the right to choose their own dictator...
Intel's actions set precedence for what could be some quite nasty actions in the future.

Intel does not care about the "Linux community". Intel cares about Intel and their decisions are made solely to benefit Intel and not competitors.
Remember the Intel + Microsoft monopoly? Intel wants to recreate that with Linux except this time it will just be Intel.
What happens when Intel management decides that they do not condone the actions of RedHat, SUSE , [Insert other distro or company here that may be a competitor]?

People have their problems with Canonical or Mir or whatever else, but they shouldn't let this blind them to the fact that Intel's action was bad and sets precedence for similar actions but which negatively affect more than just Canonical or Ubuntu in the future.
Just remember when it happens that you supported it.

And don't kid yourself, this decision doesn't affect anyone other than Canonical (not even them, really, as they can just maintain their own patch). No one else is ever going to use Mir. It's Unity-only, and everyone else will use X or Wayland. That's just the way it is, deal with it.
