This is allowing them for a while instead of closing them immediately which we haven’t been doing, I suspect because it feels a little too strict and may seem defensive.

In my head that was a slightly different thing: I think of [POLICY: feedback discussion splitting](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/policy-feedback-discussion-splitting/57362) as being pretty focused on litany of gripes/complaints/feedback than general unfocused questions.
