Re: Can we freeze the Tracker for while?

Opening an issue is largely independent of how or when it is to handled.   If
any working group member feels that certain issues need to be addressed now
they are welcome to advocate that more attention be paid to these issues.  If
any working group member feels that certain proposed issues should not be
opened they they are also welcome to so advocate.   I would be against a
general moratorium on opening issues, or even a slowdown on opening issues.


Restricting the opening and resolution of issues is not going to result in
more practical experience with and real-world feedback on SHACL.


I do believe that the working group should be spending more time on
fundamental issues.  Making progress on fundamental issues can require
considerable time, and I know that I have been spending time on what I
consider to be less important issues, but these have been coming up for
consideration mostly independently of any actions on my part.
