While I admit to being somewhat partial to the acronym, it's not for any
sound technical or informational reason. To be honest, before I became
enamored with my own perceived cleverness of TMI-BFF, I also thought the
use of "BFF" in the context of the draft wasn't quite appropriate.

At this point, I propose that Vittorio and I step back and rework the draft
a bit and then resume the call for adoption after we spin a new revision.
We'll eliminate the problematic use of BFF and address some of the more
straightforward feedback from the interim.
