Actually, that's exactly why my primary suggestion is to stick to the
status quo for now. Changing the status quo needs a discussion at
6man, and it will take long time and can possibly fail, so if you want
to avoid the delay, the only feasible option for now is to stick to
the status quo and defer any incremental changes to that separate
discussion. Hence the suggestion. I believe I've always been clear
about it, hiding nothing.
And it's now your call. If you don't like to go with the status quo
for now and do believe you can get a quick consensus at 6man, I just
wish you a good luck.
