One data point in all of this is Victor's PEP 8015. Here on the mailing
list I seem to be the first and only person to reply since the PEP was
posted on Monday. But over on Discourse there have been 3 people who have
replied and there's already been some back-and-forth.

So with a sample size of one, it looks like Discourse isn't discouraging
anyone, otherwise I would have assumed people who don't want to start with
Discourse would have simply started a discussion here on the mailing list
about Victor's PEP.
