We're not too late to submit a new proposal to 2.2, as I understand it.  Why
not do the right thing, pull #46, #129, and #130, bundle them into a new
proposal, get comments, and remove the procedural issues?  I think the
hesitancy to do this only adds to my worry about this proposal, and is part
of the view people have of "rushing it it".
