In that case, this open item is not eligible for section "Design Decisions to Recheck Mid-Beta". That section is for items where we'll probably change nothing, but we plan to recheck later just in case. Here, we expect to change the behavior; the open question is which replacement behavior to prefer. Fujii, as the owner of this open item, you are responsible for moderating the debate until there's adequate consensus to make a particular change or to keep the current behavior after all. Please proceed to do that. Beta testers deserve a UI they may like, not a UI you already plan to change later.
