What is going to be "not-obvious conversations"? I see 2 variants:
1. someone found a very interesting moment and wants to share with

2. someone is stuck with the issue and tries to get help.
3. Few guys arguing to achieve a decision acceptable for all of them.
4. The patch will probably affect other areas...
and so on...
