To be very clear, I have absolutely no objections to the GR being held, and I agree with this analysis. That I am currently leaning against it in no way is intended to imply that I am unhappy that it was proposed. I was slow to comment in part because it took me a couple of weeks to figure out what I thought, and that to me implies that this is a good GR. The outcome is not obvious and this is not something that we've settled on as a project. > This, however, _is_ something I want to insist on: I don't think we > should fear GRs.
