SO has very specific goals and being interesting or a forum for discussion is not one of them. While I do think they are occasionally to strict I don't think is is one such case, I would have voted to close.
- eru 10y agoPerhaps instead of closing, they should just `promote' content to a discussion site.
- Zergy 10y agoIf there is an appropriate SE site moderators can already do this.If not users can do this by copying and pasting the question into the submission box for a more appropriate site.
- jsmeaton 10y agoI'm sort of OK with most discussion based questions and answers being shut down. This particular question is well asked, is focused (i7 pipeline de-optimizations), and has a few answers that have very specific information related to the question. There is no discussion happening in the answers. There's no way this question should be closed, and I've voted to reopen.
