It'd be good if the reasoning for the foundation could be properly explained.

I understand what governance and architecture etc means in large scale projects but what does it mean for JavaScript if it's not standards based governance i.e. ECMA specs? The Dojo and jQuery foundations merged a year ago, both of them brought a number of libraries and toolkits together such as lodash, grunt etc under a single banner.

What benefit to the open source community does it actually bring?

Is it the combined power of contributors and experts to debate and future proof standards?

The libraries and toolkits under this foundation could be argued by the cool kids of today be legacy. It could be easily ignored by these cool kids.

Bringing it under the linux foundation is interesting but can anyone explain whether this news is actually important for the future of JavaScript?
