Did you see Brett's email here, especially the last few paragraphs?

I don't know how the Discourse experiment will turn out, and I know it
won't make everyone happy, but I hope it works. Because we *know* that
what we're doing now is making people miserable and driving them away.
The push to try Discourse may or may not be misguided, but it's not
coming out of a few people having a whim over lunch together.

P.S.: I found that link using my usual method for finding mailing list
archive links, which is: first I did a search in my local MUA, found
the email I wanted, noted the date, then manually went to the mailing
list archives and clicked through the messages around that date until
I found it. This *sucks*.
