Oft times asking for feedback without having a proposal in hand leads to rampant speculation and overreaction. (See this thread) Having something of a proposal already written helps those who are giving feedback have a clear idea of the intention and at least some of the mechanics of how such a proposal would work, rather than letting every maintainer try to imagine it and come to their own conclusions, which may be wildly off base. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
