You pointed out several times nice features that were implemented in baz
but required deep changes.  In his maintainership announcement, Andi
said he would rather be "conservative" with respect to what would got
merged into tla.

I think it would be nice to define more precisely this level of
conservatism, and in particular, to define a rationale as to what can go
in and what cannot.  This also raises the question of which branch is
technically the best choice to start with: tla 1.3?  tla 1.4?  baz 1.x?

It seems that a number of tla supporters had _technical_ griefs against
the features that were put into baz and it might help to summarize them
and discuss them (again, from a technical viewpoint ;-)).  Same for tla
1.4 which Thomas apparently disliked.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
