Since it is shutting down public discussion, I fail to see the
distinction.

How would I know about this so called discussion? What if I
might have things to add to it, after listening in for a bit? Who is
the target audience for suvh off list discussion? Only people who have
participated earlier? (I mean, I participated, and I have had no emails
sent to me. And I even contributed to the whole python policy thing --
one of the documents people were bandying about in an earlier
incarnation of this discussion was written by me).
