+**Don't open a PR without discussing the design before**, either in the chat or in an issue, unless you're just fixing a typo. Coding is the easy part. Determining the exact requirement and how we want it to be done is the hard part. This is especially important if you plan to add a dependency or to change the visible parts, eg the launch arguments.
