The bug might not have been about language-design,
but some of the bug thread was - which is the point
here.

My post that I quoted (above) was a +1 support for
a post from Jonas Bernoulli which was largely about
the same point being discussed here, now.  E.g.:

  This could have been prevented if more people
  (including non-debbugs and non-emacs-devel regulars)
  were given a chance to think about the problem
  and time to articulate their concerns and proposals,
  before facts were created.  Or even if the people
  who did take part in past conversations had spend
  more time actually talking things through.

Once again, it's not about me.  That I was (a small)
part of that bug discussion is irrelevant to RMS's
point, to which I replied here creating this new
thread.
