Having said that, the fact that the discussion happened in a forum other
than -hackers is clearly something to be avoided in future (ISTR
something similar happening with some changes coming from Bizgres a
while ago). I don't know how we can avoid this sort of thing happening
every now and again, except to encourage folk to include -hackers in
their discussions before sending the final patch in (Bruce and others
have stated this previously - maybe we need to re-iterate it few weeks
*before* every feature freeze...)
