So far we’ve had a voluminous discussion among a small set of people who agree on generalities but not a single proposal, and only one of them has an actual implementation on offer.

I’d suggest that the reason why the rest of the implementers list hasn’t jumped in is because they’re busy getting draft-13 done, which we said we intended to go to WGLC any day now.

Making such a radical change to the protocol at this stage is going to need broad, strong agreement. I’m expressing doubt about the likelihood of that because so far, the interested parties haven’t converged on a single proposal, and (again) because none of the proposals are informed by running code.
