Correct, but since the PEP isn't ready to be published for discussion this thread is all speculation based on imperfect information since Mariatta tried to summarize something ahead of time. For me personally, I am not going to participate in any discussion about any PEP until there is a published text to refer to, otherwise the discussion is ripe for misunderstandings. If a PEP comes out which people disagree with and want an alternative for I'm sure we can give them an opportunity to create a tweaked PEP (but I also assume we will have a civil discussion first in hopes of finding consensus first).
