But for discussions, slow is good.  Thoughtful responses are those which have 
been mulled over for a few hours or days.  Instant ones are 
off-the-top-of-the-head ones.  Useful if someone's already given the topic a 
lot of thought, but not if it's a new topic to them.

And this ML has a nice, searchable, public archive. (Or 3.)  Can you point me 
to archived discussions on these other channels regarding, say, which OSs get 
R3 first, and which are to follow.  Or one discussing how the 'hybrid' 
closed/open-source approach was arrived at and why it's thought it'll work.  
And what the definition of 'working' will be under it.

And I'm sure others can think of other discussions they'd like to read through 
too - if they're available.
