1. I was unable to find any traces of such a discussion. Apparently, if there was a discussion, it was held between a small, closed group.

2. After the announcement, arguments were given by the community, that
    (a) the reasons in the announcement do not warrant the use of GA, and
    (b) there are good reasons why we should not use GA.
    These arguments were simply ignored.

People only annoy me when they point me to previous discussions -- ones that I have participated in -- or to the announcement.

Again, the announcement is not a reply to the community's arguments against GA. The opposite is true.
