Agreed. Then there are developers who ask for comments, from time to 
time, about building components that *may* be useful once the Cocoon 
site has such infrastructure available. Shouldn't people like that get 
some feedback from Forrest? Is it appropriate to plant seeds for the 
future? Or should they be working on a scratchpad contribution? Or 
should people like that go join another open source CMS project?

I'm just trying to understand the utility of these varying types of 
discussions.
