One more comment with all these CCs and then I will try to shut up.

Agreed. Yes, there was active discussion of this issue 6 years ago, but in a vacuum (no running code). Now we have running code, revisiting the issue in the light of experience is the right thing to do. Nothing to feel bad about. I hope none of my messages made anyone feel bad. However, we don't currently have the organizational framework needed for this discussion. There is active discussion of the organizational issue right now, on rfced-future@xxxxxxx. Please join.
