Do you agree that an annotated summary of what has gone well and what hasn't, in the case of discussion technology like Liquid Threads and Flow, might help us to have generative conversations on this topic?
Not in the slightest. Having a conversation about anything this divisive is completely pointless and draining; no one listens to anyone else and everyone blames everyone else for not listening - especially because everyone claims "I'm not being heard" (even if they are, and are just disagreed with.)
I could write up a whole big thing about this to try to create clarity but it doesn't matter; the only responses will be claims that the WMF (and myself in particular) are operating only in bad faith or "being rude" or we'll have some chuckleheads (who never try to help, claim to be expert engineers, but never seem to be able to back up those claims) talk shit about the skill sets in engineering and derail the conversation.
So no. I don't believe this will be useful.
