I don't quite understand what you mean by this.

Ahhh. Thats probably why it didn't make the cut. It should show up in the
upcoming traffic in a couple days.

Bzr traffic, as written by me, is strictly a summary of what was discussed
on the list during that period of time. Once I've done that, I've
satisfied the problem that I went out to solve, namely that one can keep a
finger on the pulse of whats being discussed on the list without having to
read 300+ posts a week.

I welcome any and all (barring spammers!) to update the traffic on the
wiki once its published. Among other useful things, community members are
welcome to amplify upon any listed issue, add pivotal irc
conversations -- even refer to and document conversations that took place
outside of the mailing list.

As for me, I just summarize the traffic. :)

Ok. I'll think about it (there's ramifications that you may not have
considered).
