Here's what I assumed from the current traffic:

  (1) People don't want to discuss it... it was discussed at great
      length under various headings prior to the CFD.  I recall you
      saying that you had sufficient volunteers to run the "..reviewed"
      group.  That alone indicates some interest.

  (2) There SHOULD be a call for votes.  I, for one, will vote yes.
      No matter what one thinks about the performance of other groups,
      it would be good to have more quality source code available.
      I think most of the net will agree.
