RE: process question and query about ISSUE-88

I'm happy to have a phone call: we really need to understand this so we can work effectively with you. We're generally pleased with the process so far, but, although you sentences are simple and declarative, I don't feel I know if we should be escalating issues into Issues or not.

Is there a convenient time for us to chat?

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
