I agree with that. It can lead to endless discussions and would be 
almost impossible to get a consensus by everyone.

The model allows the end user or specific communities to add their own
 motivations (in RDF terms, by adding a new instance of a specific 
type; in JSON-LD term by adding an extra, community specific 
`@context` with the mapping). But without having a core we end up by 
an increased incompatibility, so we need such a core. Not having been 
part of earlier discussion I yield to the discussion that did happen 
over several years (as mentioned by @azaroth42) on what such a core 
could be, and I would prefer to leave things as they are.

(Beware of the danger of bikeshedding…)

way it is (citing Jacob's mention of October's similar chat from the 
other perspective).
