Sometimes "the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few, or the one" (Spock). By withdrawing, you aren't closing discussion. You're doing your interlocutors the favor of turning off the clock. It'd be quite civilized, really. I can't speak for others, but I'd be game for a temporary "collections in scheme" mailing list. As for "last minute" foo: perhaps part of the point of the 6 month window is not simply to start a deep design discussion at day 1, but to permit objections a generous opportunity to surface. -t
