It is not yet a formally proposed GR. So in one sense, no.

Actually, it seems to me that these threads, while long, have mostly
avoided repetetive back-and-forth.
The formal GR discussion period is very short. We have had a couple
of important points raised here imply changes to the resolution.
I think the thread so far has been very useful to help everyone
understand our proposal; to reconfirm that our position and
ftpmaster's are still irreconcilable; and to help us identify
questions we probably want to address in the FAQ we're preparing.
I don't think we would have achieved that with the formal GR
discussion period. We anticipated that there would be many questions,
which is why we started with a draft.
I agree that we don't want to drag this out. I have been trying to
avoid replying when I wouldn't be adding anything. I think Sean and
Russ have been doing the same.
And, we'll bring this to a formal GR soon, so hopefully you'll only
have to bear a few more weeks of this. In the meantime, thanks for
your forbearance.
Ian.
