Since this mail, I've asked Martin Michlmayr, Wichert Akkerman, Bdale Garbee and Branden Robinson about their opinion regarding this post; and we've also seen replies from Sam Hocevar and Anthony Towns. Some have replied on-list, others only through IRC. The most supportive response was Bdale's, who said he had "mixed feelings" about it; everyone else thought it was a bad idea. In that light, I do not think it would be very smart to force this issue, so I'm not going to make it a formal amendment.
