Speaking only as a participant:

I also don't think a comment like "ARC has the same problem, for largely
the same reasons" is by itself harmful here.

What I think we should be sure to avoid is expending WG energy trying to
solve this problem in ARC-space.  That, I would argue, is outside the
charter.
