Lazy consensus is when you want to do something yourself but you think it might be controversial. If you think it is not controversial, and it is reversible (as almsot everything in SVN is) then JFDI. But Bugzilla is very appropriate, and scalable, for listing things that you think need to be done, but which you are not able, willing, or interested in doing yourself. Listing such items on the mailing list only, and having then scroll by hours later -- that is what is not scalable. -Rob > This stuff of opening bugzilla issues, waiting for a lot of people to review > the code and then committing may work well in a corporate environment > but doesn't scale well in an OSS environment. > > Pedro.
