Re: [personalization] Changing the name of hero

This is more a pragmatic reaction from my side: I have difficulties to foresee how this would happen and what it would require. I have the (vague) impression that we are getting into some sort of a research issue, that could easily lead to a very complex, albeit fascinating development. But… I think this will probably go beyond what this working group could tackle right now.

Maybe we will need to introduce a label on our global github issue list as 'future work', and record this, and other possible but similar issue, as indeed future work.

(Just trying to keep us focussed, that is also part of my job:-)
