Thanks Guozhang! This is an excellent write-up and the approach nicely consolidates a number of long-standing issues. It would be great if everyone can review this carefully and give feedback.
Also, wrt discussion in the past we have used a mix of wiki comments and the mailing list. Personally, I think it is better to discuss on the mailing list (for more visibility) and just post a bold link to the (archived) mailing list thread on the wiki.
