In theory that's me, and for anything that really affects real policy
in a real way, it should be discussed before implemented. On the
other hand, lots of minor changes go in whenever the developers feel
like it.
Just like wiki. :)
Erik instituted subpages on talk and user spaces and
asked the world
about it at the same time that it was installed. That wasn't really
best practice. It turned out o.k., though, because in the ensuing
discussion it turned out that I was pretty much the only person
against it.
Generally, though, major things should be discussed before being
implemented.
Subpage support features for user-space had, in fact, been discussed on
the mailing list before, and was approved by many. (If it hadn't, I
definitely would have taken it out when installing updates.) The key
feature, though, which still hasn't gotten done, is changing the
'contribs' and 'email' links on subpages to point to the user!
