On the other hand, that could end up being tyranny of the majority. But I'm not 
a fan of forums, I think reddit-like systems are not good for the discussions 
of the like we have on internals (for the reasons I wrote before), and that's 
it :) If anyone likes and wants to set up the environment that wouldn't disrupt 
existing discussion patterns, who can stop him or her? :)
