Design decisions in user interface are always susceptible to bikeshedding. But it is still very important to get these things right. Just like planning ahead for multiuser is already part of the "real" work being done, e.g. in the kernel, it should also be part of the discussion of changes in user interface. Both are equally important, but only one is susceptible to bikeshedding. There is always personal preference, but there is also good and bad design. My ambition is primarily to help steer clear of bad decisions, by discussion. I know discussion can be tedious, but how can we build things together without discussion? I cant silently work on just anything I feel is right and commit at will, so what remains other than discussion? /Jonas.
