I think having something to discuss before the Maintainers Summit
would be a good idea.  My hope is that a FAQ would give the perspective
of the TAB members on what appear to be the "hot issues" with this change, without
leading to endless wrangling or bike-shedding.

I have found people's input on this list to be extremely valuable to find out
concerns and possible remedies, but this is not the only forum.  (It's just more
tractable than following LKML, for me, at least.)  But I'd be open to other venues.
