issue 7911

Just went to look at issue 7911 in the issues list and found a whole 
discussion thread in the comments section. I might have missed the 
entire thing if I didn't happen to stumble upon it. Could people please 
constrain themselves to discussing issues on the mailing list and use 
the comments section for major developments (i.e. new proposals, 
directional resolutions, etc.)?
