> Is this an eV topic? Yes and no. The original decision had a big impact, changing things again will have a big impact. It's not something that should be decided by a few people, nor is it something that should be decided or squashed by a "who can talk for longest" on a mailing list. Should it be discussed behind closed doors on the eV mailing list? No. Is an eV vote the only way to get something that's fair and representative and reach a binary conclusion? I can't think of anything better I think it's a resource we should use more often. David
