So what's an appropriate place to discuss the changes that we would like, *together*, to make to the current document and propose upstream ? As stated in another e-mail in a similar thread, I believe we need to come together and decide on what we want to do. We still have no official forum to do so, and repeatedly telling people that ksummit-discuss and LKML are not the right place won't make the concerns go away. Only by discussing problems will we come to solutions.
