There was quite a lot of discussion regarding the design, and it took place on Slack rather than the mailing list.
I think, the formal media for the review discussion is the mailing list. Yes, reviews may be collected through other channels, but the discussion needs to be held in one place that is easily referenceable, and this is currently the ML. I'm not invalidating any points that may have been made on Slack or elsewhere, but I'm saying that the fact that the discussion was held outside the ML is an organizational issue that should probably have been prevented by the review manager. I'm not subscribed to Slack and I imagine, there are other users who also aren't subscribed. AFAIK, Slack spaces are not viewable by non-subscribers, which make it unsuitable for referenceable discussions such as Boost reviews.
