How would this be different than what we've been doing for the past year?

As far as I can tell, the current situation is that we've stopped work on 
XBL2 -- at least, nobody has worked on it for ages, and nobody is planning 
on working on it any time soon. But if we actually _decide_ to stop 
working on it, then we'll have to _start_ working on it again, in order to 
publish a note saying we're not working on it, whereas if we decide _not_ 
to stop working on it, we'll continue doing nothing, having stopped 
working on it.

This is like the epitome of committee-driven nonsense.
