+1 (to the above, and the rest of Robert's comments on that email).

For my 2c, I'm also in the crowd of forward or back, but don't leave it
half-done. My preference is certainly to move forward with these
changes, but I understand the process and if there's enough agreement
that we just shouldn't make these changes, then we really shouldn't make
any of them.

Thanks!
