If you follow your way of thinking (which is wrong here, btw :) ), you
end up requiring that every time two Developers meet and speak about
Debian things - they need to transcribe them and put that online
somewhere. Or we hide... Every conversation at DebConf, as soon as it
goes beyond "Want another beer?" needs to be scribbled down and put
online. Or we hide...

Silly?

Yes, but thats what you started. We as a project aren't saying that
everything will be available for everyone everywhere, and thats good.
