That is not actually answering the issue.  I probably expressed myself
wrong: by "we should think about", I just mean somebody posting on the
list about it, exposing the pros and cons, wait for settlement about the
issue, and then if the cons are fine, say "Ok, let's do it".  And then
I'll just do it and the thing will be done.  I just happen not to have
time to do the first part myself, just the last part.
