[sldev] 1.19.0 Group Chat

[Stephen Douglas]

I'm actually going to de-lurk to reinforce the comments of Ordinal and
Matthew.

I'm very encouraged that you've not only taken steps to understnad the
problem, but you've actually come up with a well-thought out solution that
seems - to me at least - to cover most use cases for group chat. And you've
gone to lengths to tell us it's coming, and given us a detailed background
into the current system, the new system, and the reasons for the changes.
Excellent!

However, it looks to me like you're (as a team, rather than any particular
individuals) over-eager to roll part of this out, when in actual fact
waiting (a few weeks, a month or two) until the server side is ready
wouldn't cause anybody any distress, especially if they knew a change was in
the works. And the flip side is that rolling out the client side changes by
themselves *would* cause annoyance.

I appreciate that DB load is an issue, as always. But I really don't think
you can justify the interim change to residents on that basis alone.

Please, don't rush this.
