Yes ;-) Balancing jira and the dev list is...a balancing act indeed. I tend to avoid discussions in jira unless they are directly related to the specific issue at hand. As soon as a discussion can be interesting or relevant I think it should move to the dev list and if it's a decision that affects more than the tiny bit that's relevant to the jira issue it must happen on the dev list. It's easy to create links between the two, although it's not an official ASF archive I often use markmail.org for that. If you really want an ASF link, committers can use s.apache.org to shorten ASF archive links. My comment in a release thread was based on seeing people mention things like "the licensing issue" or "the header problem" instead of precise IDs like FLEX-34729 which leaves no space for interpretation about what you are currently discussing. And also makes the archives much more valuable if you need to go back to see how things happened. -Bertrand
