[SAH] We'd like to get there with community input. Consider what's in the 
draft now as an attempt to prompt discussion.

[SAH] Maybe "better than the practices to be discouraged" is a better way to 
describe them. I like the idea of adding pros and cons to better explain how 
even "better" or "best" practices might not be enough to remove all risk.

[SAH] Yes, but we do have experience with deploying EPP extensions. I think 
this part is manageable.
