But for discussions, slow is good. Thoughtful responses are those which have been mulled
over for a few hours or days. Instant ones are off-the-top-of-the-head ones. Useful
if someone's already given the topic a lot of thought, but not if it's a new topic to
them.
And this ML has a nice, searchable, public archive. (Or 3.) Can you point me to archived
discussions on these other channels regarding, say, which OSs get R3 first, and which
are to follow. Or one discussing how the 'hybrid' closed/open-source approach was arrived
at and why it's thought it'll work. And what the definition of 'working' will be under
it.
And I'm sure others can think of other discussions they'd like to read through too -
if they're available.
