What happens is a bit fuzzy. I wanted to put this in a separate
proposal. But if we're discussing everything separately anyway, then it
would not be different. I think we should discuss a conceptual level at
the full forum. And conceptually, allflushall is an extension to
flushall (collective specification). 

I think the next step should be the discussion/straw vote at the full
Forum (I hope everybody will come or call in at the next meeting so that
we have a sufficient quorum) and then we can decide where to put it :).
I don't really care too much as long as we define something reasonable.

All the Best,
  Torsten
