I agree with everything Maciej said, but would like to add:

Please do *NOT* submit a change proposal that could include multiple 
options.  If there are competing proposals, then please submit them as 
separate proposals.

Note: once one is submitted, we will issue a call for alternatives, so 
these proposals do not have to be submitted concurrently.
