+1
That is to say, +1 on not punting the change, and on discussing it
further, and probably +1 on finding a way to make it happen.
(I'm not sure how theoretical the editor composition objection is
right now; there's *plenty* of editor composition happening in
Subversion right now, and it's only a matter of time before some of
those composees start reading from streams -- for example, in commit
guards. However, I can see various possible workarounds for that; it
may not be a showstopper.)
The real issue at the moment [which I think Ben mentioned, but I
didn't] is that the change is a huge one, so it would be nice to get
M2 done first and then deal with it, that's all.
We'll all talk about it more in person next week.
