As a general plea, please be sure to record the rationale and decisions in the
appropriate place, such as the tracker and/or commit message.  I think it's
fine for such minor decisions to be made in high bandwidth forums such as IRC,
it's also incumbent on the participants to be mindful of the larger community
of core developers and users.  Not doing so makes our process less
transparent, puts legitimacy at risk, and alienates users and developers who
may not be privileged to those out-of-band discussions.

Cheers,
