I have read it, and as expressed during the charter discussion, do not
support it as a place to start in its current form.

The problem statement that it seems to address is still ill-defined, and
it’s explanations for certain design choices are still contradictory and
inconsistent. As such, it’s technical proposals lack merit for the problem
or cohesion as a solution, and more work should be done to clearly
articulate the problem and solution space prior to adoption.
