2 or 3 Levels

Actually the results from the working group meeting where we discussed this
were

For two levels (with third level dropped)   
  7  - Prefer    7  - Ok,can live with     6     - Cannot live with    0 -
Don't know

For two levels  (with three levels collapsed to 2)      
  0  - Prefer    14  - Ok,can live with     6    - Cannot live with   0 -
Don't know

For Three levels.
 13   - Prefer   4  - Ok,can live with      0    - Cannot live with   3  -
Not sure

Since consensus is defined as "I prefer this or at least can live with it"
we take consensus votes in that fashion

So we are continuing with 3 levels for now.

You don't have anything resembling "consensus" for using three levels
rather than two, though that is what Gregg himself favours. Some people
interpret "Gregg likes it" to mean "everybody agrees" and "it's the best
idea."

As has been mentioned several times on this list and in the 
teleconferences, it is hard to justify more than two levels of compliance.
