No, I didn't mean to complain about the champion. I'm just saying that
this information should be easily accessible as an open resource, like a
bug tracker or something, rather than asking the champion or a random

people. :)

Well, you don't have to discuss it with the crowd. Just making the
discussion results public would be helpful already.
