THRIFT-819 to me is a pattern of dialog I'd like
to see improved. Too often I see issues filed
in Thrift's jira that get turned down by Facebook
folks without any input from non-Facebook committers.
That tends to institutionalize the idea Facebook
retains tight control over all architectural decisions
for this project.
One way to resolve this is for the Facebook employees
to continue to comment on these issues but to ask for
input from other committers before closing the issue.
Another approach is to recognize the pattern and return
to the dev list with some educational posts about the
goals of Thrift and its design. Those suggestions
are not mutually exclusive.
