Hopefully I can say this in a way that is mutually acceptable.
For me this discussion is difficult but enlightening. I think that this is the most difficult Wikimedia discussion in which I have been a participant so far this year. I don't know what agreements will emerge from this thread, if any. But the enlightenment is useful, and I hope that other people also feel that they are learning something new or are being heard on issues that are important to them.
I am thinking that ideally we would all be in a room together to have this discussion. Perhaps a second best choice would be an online meeting regarding the subject of technical debt. We could schedule a meeting via Doodle. It's okay if people don't want to participate, but I'd like to suggest an online meeting as an option.
