Yes, *you* think it’s a huge win for everyone. There are plenty who’d disagree. This RFC is a different attempt at consensus. Rather than asserting the dominance of one idea over the other and completely ignoring the segment of the community that believes in a particular approach, it allows using both approaches. It allows choice. It’s radical, sure, but I think trying to accommodate everyone’s use cases (or at least most people’s) is better than covering only one of two. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
