Hello.

Given the recent activity around .la files and conflict about how to
deal with them, I propose we discuss this issue in this mailing list,
and take this issue to the council.
That way, we can make a global decision, taking into account all the
arguments for and against, find a balance, opt for a policy, inform
users and developers about it and move on.

With that goal in mind, I'd like to ask anyone with arguments about this
issue to present them as a reply to this thread.
I'll present some arguments and some of the issues being raised on a
latter mail.
