I think we need to remember to bring *all* important discussions here,
even if it's just a heads up and link asking people to participate in
a discussion in another place.

With our many Git repositories and tickets it's easy for discussions
to happen elsewhere, and it's fine in many cases, but one should be
aware of all important things by just following this list.

Now, of course, the definition of "important" varies...so this is just
a friendly reminder, I'm not pointing fingers - but we have a concrete
example here where breaking changes were apparently not discussed on
this list, and it's not ok in general.
