Long ago Mozilla started making all such decisions on mailing lists, because the meetings at water coolers never get documented, and because you can't meet a colleague who lives 10,000 miles away over a water cooler (or at least not very often).

Interestingly enough, fully-remote companies have an advantage here - such "water-cooler" discussions and decisions still happen, but more commonly over Slack and email than in person (and even in-person discussions can be recorded, although few people think of that in advance).
That’s very true. Although I don’t personally count Slack as a good documentation system, at least you can copy from it.
