hi,

the latter. the direction of the flow within the pipeline may be
changed.

the original proposal was "loop=yes", because that's the technical
term used by the pipeline operators ("loop configuration").

that was the reason to discard loop=* and adopt flow_direction -
to have a more generic term to also be used in other cases.
this raises one question: should the pipeline proposal be accepted,
will it be necessary to start another vote process for flow_direction?
or is it sufficient to just add the page to the wiki?
