I too would prefer to have it, if we can have it without the kind of 
soul-destroying discussion that we've had over each previous MOVE proposal.

There are, at last count, 11 servers that either have MOVE, have 
committed to it, or have some *MOVE of their own. IMO, if all 11 can do 
MSN-based MOVE and none of us find a terrible problem with its 
specification, then my intuition is to include it. Uniformity is not a 
bad trait in protocols.
