Well, this was mostly to get Ryan up to speed. But sure, I'll ask
everybody else to leave the room next time, when we talk this through
with Ryan, if that's what you want.

Well, for starters, it's a *mailing*  *list*. When you hack and try to
figure out what you want to do, it's *much* better to do that face to
face, and that's what we did. The whole reason why Kay and I went down
to Nuremberg is to have face-to-face discussions, and the emphasis here
is on "face-to-face"...

If you are pissed that we didn't include you in these face-to-face
discussions, then maybe you should think about attending too, the next
time? AFAIK you were invited to the meeting...

Yeah, and that's pretty much how it is. We don't want the bikshedding for
now. 

But I guess it's a dilemma. Either the bikeshedding or Thiago
complaining. Jeez.
