I was there when it happened; it felt like the right call to me and my team. In fact none of the performance related terminations had us scratching our heads.
I was a part of a startup (interClick) that got acquired before MM became CEO and our experience of the rest of the org was pockets of smart dedication drowning in a mass of serfs passively resisting the will of the fiefdoms to which they belonged.
It seemed to us that what MM should have done is broken up the fiefdoms and dismiss the feudal lords that reigned before revitalizing the suite of properties and expanding mobile/video.
