Yup... it *is* a bikeshed, but there does need to be a way to resolve
it. So a random throw at "consensus" might not do it. Maybe something
a little more proactive? I'm coming from the peanut gallery, so I
don't really know the options. I'd love to provide some input (heh,
"bikeshed input"), but it is unclear what is really going on here. I
would guess that some others are similarly unaware. Kinda the nature
where/how people pay attention.
Thanks,
