I by no means wish to bring this subject back into the mailing list, but I 
think he referred to discussion among developers (actually, I believe it 
would be designers) regarding this feature when it was first brought 
up/implemented.

Anyway, from what I understand, I think most designer's discussions 
are made via IRC, so good luck finding a log on that :(
