I'm starting to disbelieve the myth that because we can discuss
technical issues on mailing lists, we should talk primarily about
process issues during the kernel summit.

There is a distinct advantage to discussing and hashing things out in
person.  You can't say "screw you, your idea sucks" when you're face
to face with the other person, whereas online it's way too easy.
