I think it's completely OK to discuss whatever matters people like to discuss anywhere, as long as this does not hurt the discussion on the list (and so far it doesn't look like we're suffering from the lack of discussion, judging by over 50 emails still waiting to be read in my mailbox just from the recent round of typing discussion). I.e. saying something like "we must accept this proposal because of reasons we discussed on IRC" is not OK. But talking to people in private and arguing and maybe getting them to change their mind (isn't it the ultimate goal of discussion?) - there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, if you have a good argument that could convince people, airing it in public could be more effective since it could convince more people, but I don't see why that would prohibit private conversations or make them somehow "madness". -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
