Requiring something to be blocked on xen-devel before we discuss it on
the call is monumentally short sighted, and off-putting for contributors.

In this case, it is very definitely not the first time this problem has
been raised, as it is an XSA shaped elephant in the room.  Its no secret
that id wraps cause problems, and while our security policy doesn't
comment on the matter, it also doesn't say "warning - stuff *will* break
in weird, wonderful, and security-relevant ways when domid's wrap".

The order of the agenda is important, and I don't think this should be
at the top, but even if we only end up with 2 minutes to discuss it,
then so be it.  (2 minutes of talking can still be far more valuable
than a weeks worth of emailing.)

What is not acceptable is suggesting that it should be veto'd simply
because it is perceived to be a very fresh idea/query.
