Absolutely, folks should feel welcome to discuss this and any other
issues whenever they have the chance.  And if no conclusion has emerged
by the time ELC comes around then that might indeed be a useful way to
move things forward.  But, such face-to-face meetings inevitably involve
only a subset of developers and the only way to ensure that all
interested parties are able to participate is to hold discussion on the
mailing list whenever possible.
