Hi Igor,
You are correct, patches _are_ indeed development. But they are _not_ 
discussion. But you can discuss design decisions without reference to 
patches. Of course if all that you have is a hammer then the world looks 
like a nail, or a patch in this case. There needs to be a separate list to 
discuss design, planning, documentation and instruction issues, with a 
low-enough volume to allow for the occasional noob question. The current 
list is not appropriate for these needs.
