;-)

Would you object to such and such..? is just a roundabout way to ask..
are you OK with such and such..? I guess it just feels a little more
humble, more polite maybe, hence less likely to draw negative replies,
and if indeed it is met with a resounding NO, whoever asks will not lose
face or his authority in the perspective of subsequent dealings as much
as if he had formulated it in a more direct way. At least that's the way
it works with my own particular brand of English.

I can't vouch for the other poster, but I was replying to what I felt
was the 'real' question.. which means that I am all in favor. 

There are issues that I may have forgotten about and I would be extremly
happy to know when they have been addressed without having to visit the
web site on a regular basis. 

Besides, unless I misunderstood your original question, that's pretty
much the accepted behavior on other -devel mailing lists I subscribe to,
so I don't see anybody having any objections (?)
