Quoting you:
“the ML would quickly get polluted with too many parallel discussions
if every sub-group did all their discussion on the same ML”

That's exactly what a ML is for, parallel discussions each ideally
contained in a thread of its own; that's what I was pointing out.

I am calm, you don't see me shouting, do you? :)

To put things in perspective, here's what Michael said:
“And secondary, I think we should also try to avoid having too much task-
rpms. Their values is in the fact they allow to quickly install a set of
rpm without searching in the whole set of rpm.

If there is too much of them, people while end searching in the various
task-* rpms, and that seems counter productive at best.
( ie, searching the task rpm they want to avoid searching rpm they want
directly ... ).”

Doesn't look dismissive to me, he stated rather clearly why he's
against having too many task/meta packages.
