True, but it might also mean that those purely interested in IronRuby
and IronPython and not the DLR implementation details from people
writing compilers for *other* languages won't be bothered by it. From
my point of view, a lot of whether this makes sense or not depends on
whether MS wants to encourage a community around the DLR and having
external folks produce language implementations on it, or if it's
mostly considered an implementation detail for MS' own languages.

God, please no. The MSDN forums are awful!

It might be a chicken and egg kind of problem. I bet many more people
would be less hesitant about asking DLR questions if there was a forum
for it.
