So basically you're arguing that if people want to have a more sensible discussion about the who, what & where, they should use a closed mailing list? Like it was done in the past? Fine with me.
Please continue the discussion about the color, but it would be more effective to have started a separate thread about it than hijack this one which had some serious time-sensitive and open questions. And yes, discussing whether we should discuss the color of the bikeshed is distracting too. I suggest we use 'the Oompa Loompa discussion meeting' and be done with it.
