At this point in the debate, I think I have seen enough arguments on both sides to form an opinion. This discussion was worth having, as it really did clarify the subtleties of what we're dealing with, but I think we should now be able to resolve. I side with John. I believe the other use cases defended by Koji and Fantasai can be address by additional controls introduced in a later level. - Florian
