[Dev] Visible decisions

I just wanted to comment on this part of the message.  I'm fine with 
happened with set of changes, so don't take this as a complaint or 
anything like that.

At Apache we have a rule about this kind of discussion:  "Discuss all 
you want in irc, phone, whatever, but make the actual decisions in 
e-mail so that people who weren't present in the real-time discussion 
have a chance to participate".   I'm not advocating that we adopt such 
a rule, but I think that this situation illustrates the challenges of 
keeping interested parties aware of what's going on.   As our community 
grows to include more people in more time zones, this is going to be 
more of an issue for us.

Food for thought,
