Thanks Richard, Atita & Jeff for the feedback. I think we should encourage others to share their opinion(s). I'd like to propose we continue to collect further comments until at least Friday, 9 June 2023. If no other opinions/comments arise, I'd assume "lazy consensus" on PR 535 by the (dev) community.
On the following Saturday, June 10, 2023, we can then reach a conclusion and take a decision.
