I am all for discussion first. But when the discussion is nothing more than expressions of viewpoints, and where participants aren't collaborating towards an agreement of sorts, it is a waste of time and effort.

The consensus should lead to something actionable, that - for tracking and reporting - is captured in a JIRA issue. So that results show up in release notes, etc. This way we ensure that our adopters stay on the page.
