I think the stackexchange for Drupal would be a good thing (validates<br>
the size and relevancy of Drupal for developers in the big world out<br>
there) but it should not be considered a replacement for d.o. forums.<br>
Drupal.org needs to be self-sustainable - this validates Drupal's<br>
ability to cater, on its own, for its community.<br>
