Definitely. Nobody is trying to shut the discussion down. I'm just asking that folks try to keep the discussion above "I disagree on the conclusion that has been drawn in the past", and try to bring new information to the table. There's been a _lot_ of discussion around this lately, and the team does try to keep on top of it.

Probably worth re-iterating that any actual change would need to be the result of an RFC. Also keep in mind that such an RFC would not only need to describe why this is a change we want, but also why it is important to prioritize this _right now_
