[documentation] Drupal enhancement proposals (DEP)

[Benjamin Melançon]

My argument is that the "way the internet works" is that once
something is up, it should stay up.  We can't control who has linked
to it.

And happily, the way Drupal works is that it doesn't care where
something is, so the nodes could returned sectionless or unlinked to,
and virtually undiscoverable except by search engines.

I'm getting 'access denied' and not 'page not found' so I'm guessing
they were unpublished rather than deleted.

For best results, if not too hard, throw on top:  "This section is
closed.  Issue queues and the email lists to generate consensuses and
people actually doing work have been far more successful in the
community."

I'm not questioning taking them out of the handbook and ending the
whole experiment at all, but for instance there's fairly
useful-looking discussion about location and time zones there that I
wanted to link to from the location and mapping group on g.d.o.

Thanks,
