Actually, a stated part of the vision behind the migration to Discourse or [Statement of intent](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/migration-of-google-groups-to-discourse/17/3) is that we want to invite, motivate and integrate the whole Julia community to the new platform.

UPDATE: Although in theory integration has many benefits and is the ideal, in practice independence is too precious to sacrifice. Therefore, I no more support integration.
