As I mentioned to bvh, I read that page properly for the first time
today and decided to update it. That he added that line about the dev
list yesterday I had no idea. I figured I'd update the page since I
wrote a lot of the stuff the first time, on the whiteboard.

It was productive precisely because we had all the experts on hand to
ask "will X cause a problem?". That's how we came to the realisation
that an API jump was the right thing to do.

Quite, and now that it is reasonably documented, we can start the
discussion. Some people on IRC have made helpful suggestions already.

Have a nice day,
