Does that mean you second the proposal? I suggest we implement
this part of the proposal first, and leave the issue of the source of
the documentation to another ptoposal, since that is turning out to
be controversial.
This proposal has only one second at the moment. I would like
to see if there are others, and to move the non-controversial part of
the proposal out of the way.

I personally tend to agree, but I think this is grist for
another proposal.
I shall retitle this bug and start the count down as soon as I
get another second (I am saying that since it seems to me that the
proposal I submitted is not controversial and can be handled quickly,
reducing the number of open issues on policy).
