That was indeed the sense of my question. Since I'm seeing some discussion
around priorities, I was wondering if there's a general consensus around
dropping the existing scheme or that it's often counter-effective. I'm not
worried about doing it just for a few years, I was worried of doing it for
nothing :-)
