Judging from the last six months, it's doubtful whether we will ever
again not be in the middle of a commitfest :-(. If better tooling might
help us escape this state, we should talk about it. However ...

... if it's going to try to coerce us out of our email-centric habits,
then I for one am very much against it. To me, the problems with the
existing CF app are precisely that it's not well enough integrated with
the email discussions. The way to fix that is not to abandon email (or
at least, it's not a way I wish to pursue).
