That is exactly what I said - being discussed and (being) decided. I didn't 
say it was or has been already decided. "Being" is not the same as "been"! :) 
I.e. present continuous instead of past tense.

And BTW, it may not be a simple decision after all - while technically Yocto 
seems quite a decent project and embracing it would be reasonable, many large 
companies are still having issues with it's governance model and past issues 
with Intel's other seemingly "open source" projects... The good news is that 
this side of the problem is now being actively looked at for any possible 
solutions, which would benefit all involved...
