I'll not stop the countdown for now but am going to commit with this
change unless we get a conflicting view in which case it would make
sense to stop the countdown and gather more opinions, possibly from the
user list.

Not sure what to name input/regression/voicify.ly instead, though.
"voicify.ly" is clearly referring to the command, "voices.ly" is much
more ambiguous.  But at least it is not taken yet.
