+1

I remain conflicted about doing this new top-level type -- per the notes
I posted earlier -- but it's clear that it has meaningful, strong and
broad support.  (Including from one or another curmudgeon who is
typically ready to attack marginal ideas...)

As such, you really should just charge ahead.  Formal "decision-making"
comes after doing the write-up(s).
