I think that if you look through the thread, sentiment seems clear - even
objections that were made are mostly resolved by w3c hosting an exact copy
for archival purposes.  Most of the rest seems to be speculation about
whether this would be approved, and what if it isn't?

These are valuable conversations but I think they may seem to perpetuate
the idea that there is strong opposition to this, which I've not really
seen here.

I'd like to suggest that asking Tim or doing a straw poll among ACs you
know about whether they would support what would appear to be community
consensus on this seems definitely more productive than lots of continued
what-ifs that may be discussing elaborate mitigation plans and
inadvertently sending a mixed message.

I think +director is good here if it helps remove speculation even a bit.
