It's good to see so much interest in this thread.
The purpose of transparency is not feedback. It is valuable in its own right. It reduces surprise and supports planning discussions elsewhere in the movement.
I do agree with this. (Though transparency in this area might come more naturally if it was easier to work on a spreadsheet in a wiki!)
