I agree that on LW 1.0, this would belong under discussion rather than main. But as far as I can tell, LW 2.0 non-frontpage posts have much less visibility than old discussion posts, to the point that this type of thread would not be viable.
Perhaps our double crux is “Non-frontpage LW 2.0 posts are a viable platform for open-type threads”? Or maybe it’s “It’s better to be unable to have open-type threads than to crowd the front page with them”?
I agree that the policy I propose is annoying and limiting on the site as it is. I’m proposing a policy that would mandate having a new section (one that is already planned, and that I argued for precisely because I value discussions.)
I currently suspect we don’t actually have a double Crux, and simply agree. does that seem true to you?

I thought you were suggesting I shouldn’t have posted this on frontpage, in which case we’d obviously disagree. If not, then we agree.
I think the windows repository thread shouldn’t have been on the front page.
