I don't think I see team agreement here. Was the IRC meeting last
Tuesday what we are using as a basis for this agreement. Not everyone
was present I think... also I think people are quite busy right now
with the upcoming release to be focusing on this discussion right now.

Wouldn't it be wise to postpone this a bit and gather a larger sampling
of the team feelings before making a consolidated statement like this?
Also, before committing to using any option wouldn't it be good to
actually see it first?
