What's your solution to the "prolific contributor lives in Australia with spotty dialup" problem he's proposing though? I love Slack and yet
1. Hard cases make bad law 2. That problem exists in spades with email/irc, which are actually firehoses but pretend to be async
You could read the OP as a rationalization for ridding OSS of backchannels with tools+processes. I don't see it working but I do empathize.
I'm strongly in favor of doing so, and the RFC process in Ember and Rust are attempts to do so (with decent success, ime).
Back-channels are inevitable, but I like the "No New Rationale" rule we use in Ember/Rust: decisions should only be made on the basis 1/
of rationale already made public and debated in public (to a steady state) before the decision was made. That doesn't mean people 2/
always love the decisions 100% of the time, but it does mean that people aren't surprised, and have had a chance to fully weigh in. 3/3
