I don't think Jira is the place to put architectural discussions like "index everything" (not sure what that even means) or an implementation for singletons, where I think the name is already misleading (because it's about a problem that is real, but points at a solution that I happen to disagree with).
These are good points, but maybe the answer is just to be careful to record what the real problem is in the JIRA issue and try not to introduce a bias towards a particular solution. If it's a real problem, then I think it's appropriate to have an issue opened for it. Also maybe the JIRA "Wish" category is for things that some particular person (whether developer or user) would like to see. It's still appropriate to have the discussion on the dev-list and ultimately decide to reject (or modify) the idea. And sure, we can refrence the mail archive when we decide to close or edit the JIRA issue. If we don't do this, then we'll need a Wiki or something to keep track of these things, and I don't see the benefit of that. -Adam
