I'm more afraid that it'll be a success with casualties. In other
words, it'll be a failure but not look like one at a glance. Driving
people away and making it harder to keep track of topics of import is
going to necessarily constrain how much people are able and willing to
do. It doesn't get simpler than that. And I have *not* seen a
Discourse instance be successful in that with large teams, much less
large groups like the development groups within Fedora.
Actually, Rust ecosystem is using discourse quite well. Both for development discussions and for user discussions.
