In this case the feedback cycle looked like this Initial draft -- Lots and lots of feedback -- New draft including @headers -- More feedback It's not clear to me why making a decision now before the second "redraft" stage of the cycle makes sense. It would make more sense if the editor had made a change, people were still unhappy, but felt that they had already presented all their arguments. If there is a real need to speed up the redrafing of this section, I think it is possible to ask the editor to prioritize it; as far as I am aware that has not occurred. -- "Eternity's a terrible thought.
