Hm, looks like this list is the adequate place for such a discussion (and I'm glad that everyone finally took part of it, because it is so important). Posting the proposal alone on LKML is likely to duplicate the exchanges we had here. On the other hand, adding all the suggestions Philip Pokorny, Mark Hoffman and Mark Studebaker together with my answers will make the post long and possibly hard to read, and I am not sure people will want to read it. Would it be correct to post a summary together with a link to this thread? That way, people who want to know more can read the whole story in a convenient form.
