   This is a serious proposal...

   It has been a serious proposal ever since newtrk.

   Details differ, but really not significantly: some folks want to
update 2026 to do this; others want to do it first and decide later
whether to update 2026; others want to do it and let the IESG decide
whether to use it as input to deciding about advancing levels.

   Many distinctions; no real difference...
