The proposal I made is specific and very limited in scope. I don't have 
any further agenda with it.

Other people may have different ideas of what kind of changes they would 
like to see next, but that's out of scope and needs separate proposals 
anyway, which you're free to argue against when they show up.

All this excessive speculation and the weird hyperbolical comparisons is 
just off-topic rambling and doesn't help in any way.

Can we please stay on topic and have a simple vote?
