I am supportive of Martin's original suggestion to have a team-wide
discussion at DebConf, and I don't understand why there were any objections
to this.  I *do* understand not having it taking up an official track slot
in a video taped room, but the push-back against having such a session /at
all/ makes no sense to me.  It would be a shame to miss out on this
opportunity to speak face-to-face, which only comes once a year.  Yes, the
team has operational responsibilities during DebConf which also get in the
way, but there are also operational responsibilities (or other off-line
responsibilities) that get in the way all the rest of the year too.
