    No, that's not how the world works!

That's how gnu-prog-discuss works.  We have people on the list
involved in many GNU packages, and they discuss lots of issues.

When someone mentions what is clearly a bug, we urge him to file a bug
report.  But a person who says "I find feature X inconvenient" may not
feel that qualifies as a bug, and he may hesitate to start a
discussion in a list he is not on.  And he may not even know what list
to use.

In general, free software projects should reach out for feedback.
