Please forward these comments from the private discussion to the mailing
list. Review isn't just about code correctness, but about communication -
yes, I (and domain experts) actually read all this stuff that floats
around and will jump into the discussion if there's something important or
tricky being discussed.

Second reason for public review is that the important part about the r-b
tag isn't that review happened, but by whom. So this is all about
reputation building and playing to people's various strenght. And if you
do review in private nothing of that can happen, which makes the review a
lot less useful. So let's extract the most value from all that engineering
time we invest into reviewing and _always_ do the review in public.

Thanks, Daniel
