In fact, discussions were discouraged during the March commitfest too.
Perhaps this is a good idea -- discussions on new development should
be deferred until the end of the commitfest, if one is in progress.
We'll see what happens on the May commitfest, but my guess is that it
will be a lot shorter than the March one. If it takes 1.5-2 weeks, it's
not so bad, and it means people is eager to get the current patches done
as quickly as possible so that discussions on items they are interested
in can continue.
