I for one would be interested in just how extensive this "some of us" group
is. In the interests of transparency I think they should step forward and
identify themselves. It is a view I respect, but personally disagree with.

If people in good faith are willing to make major efforts to put forward
proposals to this forum, it would only be fair for them to be aware of the
extent of that grouping who would reject such proposals out-of-hand.
