That does kind of go over the edge.

On the other hand, I think much of the material that's hidden is 
instructive in the sense that those who want to come here for a 
conversation can see what is within the realm of reasonable discourse 
and that which is intentionally not.

BTW, David G. and I were just having a conversation about such things. 
Editors should be aware that some features of the editor functions seem 
to be live in that users can interact with them. For instance, many 
comments are turning up marked as spam. Neither he nor I are doing that, 
so we presume other users are.

It's actually a good thing, but we're somewhat uncertain what the 
anonymous public might be seeing, for instance, is this stuff hidden or 
is someone expecting us to, because we're not. As editors, we spend our 
time looking at things we when get a chance in editor mode. If people 
what to experiment with such things and report back, that could be useful.

All this begs the question of discussion of policy interaction with 
various new features. Tech knows more about what goodies could be 
implemented and whether there's really much need for policy to come up 
in regards to new features unless issues are foreseen. Everyone involved 
has a full in-basket, so I can't seen much of a pro-active agenda for 
that. I could see follow-up on bugs, user issues, questions about 
implementation, etc but since I haven't a clue about rollout dates or 
feature lists, I defer to those that do.
