Kent,
Yes, Aaron's detailed explanation has helped explain why John, Matt and
himself all leaned against this. I still agree with you but it does seem
consensus on a change isn't likely. I'd therefore like to suggest we
veto this - given we all agree it's not a big deal - and move on. Can we
make that decision now or it is still too soon?
