It's kinda (and in some cases maybe even irresponsible) unfair to drop major things on people without providing more context. The point of email transparency isn't to make everything transparent; it's to increase efficiency. We don't need to cover everything.

Generally with similar initiatives these days we'll talk about them at all-hands, or if they're particularly interesting have a dedicated gathering to discuss them. We also find ways of increasing transparency once the need for secrecy has been removed, such as opening up the list archives post-hoc.
