If the notes are published afterwords as an explanation of why certain
choices were made, I suspect it'd be reasonably well received. The
concern about back-room discussions is more that decisions are made
without explanation as to why, provided we avoid that, I believe they
can be helpful.

So, +1 for my part to have the conversation.
