it isn't clear that we have consensus for the minimal update to BCP45 that I'm trying to propose. I'm using gendispatch to get some initial feedback.

I'm sorry if I was unclear. I'm not setting any bar or stopping any discussion. If participants want to make a case for more fundamentally revamping the ietf@ietf.org list, or replacing it with some other discussion forum, that's completely fine by me.

But that discussion will likely take some time, whereas a minimal update to bring BCP45 into alignment with current practice need not be delayed by that discussion. And if that minimal update becomes obsolete at that point, that's fine, too.

Thanks,
Lars
