Reminder to all those who are discussing changes that affect others, like APIs or UIs.
Please discuss the changes on the ML not exclusively on IRC, not everyone monitors IRC, and time zone issues mean not everyone is able to contribute.
Do not discuss it on IRC and then dump it on the ML as a decided thing.
Yes the ML slows down the communication process, but then that's probably a good thing anyway. Deciding the first thing someone thinks of is not always the best thing.
