It begs the question, if this high level design decisions shouldn't live on the design@ list instead of rails-dev or in the git-hub bug tracker.
rails-dev can sometimes have a reasonably high volume and most of it is boring technical detail, like e.g. if oauth needs relative or absolute URLs to produce valid signatures. This is something most people don't (and probably shouldn't) care about and won't read rails-dev. So putting high level design discussions that does effect everyone who uses osm.org and where because it is subjective, everyone can have a valid opinion on it, is perhaps a bad idea. After all there is a specific list just for this kind of purpose i.e. design@ Of cause fragmenting mailing-lists further and further is probably a bad idea though as well.
