The issue is that it's only possible to open the voting on this one until
tomorrow.
As I said, I do think we need *something* for 7.0. I went as far as
saying that I'd change my vote on the quite-bad-IMHO dual mode RFC to yes
if it seems both present proposals aren't going to succeed. But I would
much rather see this one pass over the dual mode if it was available for a
vote.
So really, the options we have are:
1. Put this one for a vote before the end of tomorrow. Here too, on a
personal level, if I see that this proposal isn't gaining enough votes,
I'd support the dual mode one.
2. Don't put it up for a vote, and then we may or may not have something
for 7.0.
