While I appreciate the invitation to join that aspect of the fray, I will decline it, at least for now.
Except that you offered your statement as a counter to the
concern about the wg requirements. Clearly you thought that
statement to be relevant.
But the statement is a broad, vague assertion. And I've noted that it is irrelevant to the current discussion, in pretty much every possible way.
Really it only serves as a Linus blanket of comfort for those
wishing to wave concerns away.
But I tried to be polite and give you an opportunity to provide a linkage. However broad, vague assertions represent a failure to engage in substance, so your response does not come as a surprise.
