Well, factually, I haven't seen any further neither on this list, nor in
private mail to me, further improving that proposal in quite a while. Of
course that might be silent interest about "max", and I'm very glad
about that. It's just that I cannot be aware of it :)

As mentioned before, I plan to propose/second only one proposal: 2-S.
But I do want other proposals to be as ready and as coherent as
possible, so that if others want to propose/second them, they won't have
to do all the heavy lifting.

So, by all means, if you have changes you'd like to see applied to "max"
before you'll be personally OK with proposing/seconding it, please send
it to me as patches against
http://git.upsilon.cc/?p=text/gr-ctte-term-limit.git;a=tree , I'll be
happy to integrate them, and update
https://people.debian.org/~zack/gr-ctte-term-limit/

In the specific case of "max", it would be a good idea for you to first
find consensus on them with Josh Triplett, who has been thus far the
main contributor to that proposal. Feel free to take this into private
mail with him, Cc:-ing me as needed.

Cheers.

That's not my perception.

Out of all the proposals, I prefer "max" because it is elegant and
simple; the other proposals involve slightly more complex formulas that
require more effort to understand. I don't think "max" has such a goal
of quickly converging (at least it's not what I like about it).

As such, I would appreciate it if you could change that option to, say,
postpone the first term expiration to 6 months after the passing of the
GR, rather than one month.

If you don't do that, I'll have to propose it myself, but I'd rather
avoid that ;-)
