There is already an arch-general thread about this topic. This one was intended to gauge the opinions of the _developers_ (hence the reason it was on the dev list). I am all for keeping things open, but polluting things with arguments from outside is just making this harder. And now this discussion is going to be made private, to keep out the outside comments so that we can get a better grasp of the situation. Mr Heiko, I know you feel you have a vested interest in this topic, but you're just adding useless noise to the discussion. This is quite ironic as this is EXACTLY what you claim will not happen were we to allow comments on closed bugs. Cheers
