Hi Nicolas,
thanks for your additional comments. I see some good ideas in your new
suggestions (which do solve for instance the issue of enabling per
removal comments). However, I have the impression that the discussion
via mailing list fails to scale to handle the complex branches of this
discussion. Would you volunteer to create a Wiki page to enable better
structure and which might lead to some consensus about the
implementation?
Kind regards
Andreas.
