The solution for this is much simpler: proper documentation. A project whose fundamental design philosophy isn't well-documented doesn't belong outside the Incubator. As for recording the reasons behind big decisions during the project lifecycle, that is why we have publicly archived mailing lists which are supposed to be where such decisions are made. -- Bill Cole
