I have to say JB has a really good point here. We are setting an
unrealistic threshold for the creation of what is our primary form of
communication in the project.

In short, we are saying that no list shall exist without an existing
demand and that list must be something of a permanent nature. That is
just silly. Lists are easy to create and easy to destroy.
