And to think - I almost missed the invisible <sarcasm> tags :)

On the whole, this mailing list is quite amenable to discussion on the

seem well received... just rarely acted upon. This is part of the whole
"Lua development is closed to outsiders" mentality that both allows for
quicker/cleaner release iterations and inhibits outsider contribution :)
