I think what you're describing is 1:1 async communications, or "1 to
very small group".

This is much easier to manage on any channel than "talking to the
group" which is IMO required for Apache-style development.

What I mean is:
-Everybody sees the topics of all conversations fly by
-It's easy to ignore specific or most conversations
-It's easy to catch up after N days of absence while the rest of the
team has been active, by quickly skimming the thread's subject lines
-It's easy to use Precise Quoting in replies to enable deep conversations

To me, the lack of first-class discussion threads, including a subject
line, in most chat-style channels makes it hard to support that style.
