To be honest, it's really not that bad of an idea. Some things tend to
"snowball" when they are on public lists, it would almost be nice to
have a list that's not council-only (we do have private lists already,
this would actually move some council talk into the members-only
lists) to talk about issues that might be "hot-button" in the
blag-o-sphere.

IMHO, we'd not be taking public discussion private, rather taking
private discussion to a more public list. As long as we state this
policy somewhere, we can point to the wondering few about the
"double-secret-probation list" to the wiki page.

ubuntu-private would be really nice, IMHO.
