Have any of the items been addressed since then? I would be happy to be proved wrong, but I think the answer is almost certainly "no, but feel free to write one". Documentation is notoriously the thing that gets put off most easily, and documentation *of a discussion* is just not going to be at the top of anyone's todo list. But, all the discussions are public - on that PR thread, and on the discussion of the RFC on this list (available through any of several archives) - so theoretically anyone could go through and summarise the key points. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's just human nature - we had the discussion, reached a conclusion, and moved on with the next topic. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
