Do we really want to follow a process where we make a feature a

problem. Technical discussion of the feature is beside the point.
I do not mind if we come up a process for this. We can refine and follow
from now onwards on some thing we all agree as to what is acceptable.
Apparently the dev list and JIRA does have enough details.
On a related point, you cannot tell me that I'm confusing one goal
with another. Anybody who wants to participate in this community can
define goals however they want. Those goals can be rejected or
accepted, but this has to happen in the open. I've been advocating
for bridging the metadata language goal and this feature, you can't
tell me that's invalid. If the consensus is that that's a bad idea,
then that's the consensus, and I'm fine with that, but you can't tell
me it's invalid or that I'm confused.
Sorry, I was not telling, I thought
it was a mis-interpretation of goal
of this feature. You can certainly explain the importance between those
and I will listen and try to understand the benefits behind it.
