This sort of disagreement is exactly what the process was designed to avoid: People shouldn't be surprised by changes, as they have been discussed and agreed on the mailing list.
Despite reading the libraries list, I've been uniformly surprised when I've run into changes in the wild. IMO It's too hard to keep track of an overview, amongst all the noise of discussions of individual proposals. Perhaps if we had a web page with a log of accepted proposals and those under discussion would help the situation, by gathering just the summaries together in one place.
I'm not sure I see how this would help. When you run into a change in the wild, don't you already know what it is? Are you wanting to be able to look up exactly what changed? Or when it changed? Or whether it was actually agreed, rather than an accidental change?
All of the above.
The other purpose would be that I think reading the page every so often would help me to remember what's going on - it's hard to do that with the libraries list because as well as the proposals there's all the discussion around them.

Hmm. Possibly darcs records should contain references to MSGID of discussion. Regards
