I should perhaps explain a little bit more why I think this: On the Platform team, we're making decisions every day that affect how the Web works. The Web is a technology system that is used by a significant portion of the world's population. Many of these decisions are irrevocable, because the Web depends on compatibility. I think we owe it to the people (present and future) who use the technology we're building to record and publish at least what is easy to record, publish, and archive without much cost to us, so that they can understand why we made the decisions we made. I think if we can do this without adding overhead and unreliability (e.g., "if it's important, copy and paste it into a bug"), we should. I realize this rationale doesn't necessarily apply to all of Mozilla, but I'd at least like to see archived logs for all the major public channels related to the technology that we put in the Web platform. -David -- 𝄞 L.
