Well... I just opened the chat room. Feel free to us or not to use. You know I totally against the super-bureaucratic procedures of the ASF, so I'm not going to comment on the ML or did not happen approach. Reality is that if I had to go back and forth with email, probably we wouldn't have had the nuget plgs out today, but sometime next week, and that for exchanging some quick opinions a real time communication is much more effective. But, again... It costs nothing, so if nobody uses it, well... C'est domage...
