No one's saying usability can't be discussed. If there are
problems, we DESPERATELY DESPERATELY NEED to be made aware. Even
if it's just "the names of these types confuse me", that's
valuable feedback. But belaboring the point through this many
mailing list posts just makes noise and wastes energy that the
full-time devs (note: I am not a full-time dev) can spend on more
valuable tasks.
The stronger claim that seems to be implied here (I'm not sure if you
intended it!) is that the role of "outside people" in discussing
usability issues should be confined to reporting problems. I don't
agree with this. At a minimum, even if the core developers do the
deciding, a discussion like this can provide them with ideas to choose
from among or to draw inspiration from, and gives them an informal
survey of the preferences of people who care enough to comment. Once
in a while, a consensus may even emerge (for example `box`).
I regret there's been a misunderstanding here. The feedback in this
thread, both on syntax and semantics has been productive. Thanks for
everybody's input.
