Just to add to this point — new insights on this topic are welcome, and will be
paid attention to. The decision to change to a forum is because that was
evaluated as being the best thing for the community, based on the range of
opinions provided and the tradeoffs made. If there is something important that
was missed, obviously that is not going to be ignored. We want to do the right
thing. So far I still feel that moving to a forum software is the right
choice, but I’d like to do that in a way that allows people to still
participate effectively via email.
