Correction: In the past the discussions were done in the private mailing list AND in open announcements for everyone to reposond in democratic threads on LUGNET. Open for everyone. This is not what I call equally unavailable.
If it really is that important to keep the announcement forums clear from feedback, at least there should be some kind of follow-up-to... set to the announcements so there will be a link to the follow-up discussion that absolutely should be allowed and encouraged.
