Chaos Patch (#13)
For anything other than this (which can accumulate there).
What are the high-priority topics that should be under discussion right now? If ‘high-priority’ is taken to mean hard, long-term, and ultimately decisive (so we should be pushing on with them as soon as possible), so much the better.
