+1. Does "this is a discuss discuss question" mean that "I just want to
discuss this, it's a nit, don't worry" or does it mean "we ABSOLUTELY
MUST DISCUSS this and nothing's moving until we do!" Without other
context, you don't know.

Brian,
As a matter of personal preference, I would very much
prefer not to see process constructions that require repeated
use of the status in order to disambiguate the meaning of the
status. In other words, having to clarify that a DISCUSS is
(really) a discuss (and presumably not something else) is not
the way to clear things up - not even "clear enough."
Either DISCUSS means what it implies (maybe we add some
separate status for BLOCK), or we change the state name to an
intentionally more ambiguous name (like HOLD, or PENDING).
I strongly agree with John's suggestion that ADs should clearly
distinguish a comment where they really want discussion from
something that they view as a sticking point. One of the cleared
DISCUSSes on 2821bis starts thus: "This is a discuss discuss
question....". Is that clear enough?
