If Charlie can find a few like-minded people to work on
that, why not add this as a parallel activity? The
rationale of why two cases should be straightforward to
make, they are almost chalk and cheese in e.g. centralised
versus non-centralised. This is actually added safety to
the group producing something, as if one succeeds and the
other fails, that's still good.

Unfortunately, I can't offer to be one of those people.
Although I should be able to contribute at the read and
comment level, more than that is needed. I only didn't
make the suggestion earlier as it needs people (with
all due respect to Charlie, plural) to do the work.
