My preference is not to use Slack this way

* it's already hard to keep track of conversations that flit between the 
mailing lists, Github issues, Github PRs, Github Discussions - and Slack adds 
another place
* All ASF discussions should be public (with a small number of exceptions) and 
Slack is still closed unless we invite people - and only a finite number of 
people will be invited
* with Github, we have integrations copying conversations to ASF mailing lists 
- we don't have this for Slack - see 
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
* it is important for the conversations to be archived in ASF locations because 
Github and Slack may choose to close down access to ASF and our users at a time 
of their choosing in the future and ASF needs to have a record of these 
discussions on our own managed resources (eg ASF mailing lists)
