[Matt Dietz <matt.dietz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Jordan,

I think a forum as a means of communication is great. However, I'm not
sure I feel it's the right fit here. My main concern in this regard is
that there would be a separation of important discussions. I would also be
concerned about a feeling of false consensus on hot-button topics that see
activity on one channel but not the other. Finally, we'd be introducing
yet another fire hose for project communications, and frankly I personally
wouldn't feel compelled to check both, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
