A> Please stop spreading FUD.
B> Stop changing your story.

Perhaps if you actually read the e-mail, and the follow ups to it, you would see the truth. (No, really... I took the time to find it, so please, at least read it and it's replies...)

While you're reading it, notice the date. Your previous statement that:

Is WRONG. This "change" happened in April, weeks before Council elections, and over a month before submissions started. Estel was a candidate for Council at that point, one of 7 at the time. Aries was also part of the nomination group

It was re-discussed at least 3 more times, on TMO, in IRC, and at Council meetings to make it widely known, and to completely clarify that the decision, made in April, months before, had not changed. And in fact, Arie took part in this discussion. So to claim it was an unknown until now? Really? It was known by all candidates, whom all chimed in on this topic in early May.

Edit: I think I see your confusion now. You seem to think the "announcement" Estel is talking about is his announcement as Council about CA. It's not. It's the announcement by Quim of the award contests back in April. But then you'd have to involved in the community to know that I suppose...
