I can't recall that being the case. There certainly may have been some
proposals that were opened during the week that were discussed on that Friday,
but we aren't creating secret proposals and voting on them. All of them come
directly from contributors (usually via fedora-devel discussions) and are
logged in the open fesco trac instance for the meetings.
When the flags proposal was announced to fedora-devel, so so a public
decision-making could take place *before* making a policy?
The proposal was not announced, it's ratification nether and the policy
was active for months without anybody getting informed. This is what I'd
call a secret.

I don't find that concerning. Maybe it will help literacy.
Hopefully, but the original question is still unanswered then: How is a
deluge user supposed the realize the lack of single a function?
