maybe, maybe not.
What does the "new" proposal fix?
That has not been identified.

Seems to me, that should be the first thing in the proposal;
identifying "the problem" that the proposal has been created to fix.

As far as I'm aware, the #1 problem that we have in this sort of area, is
"no one has volunteered to commit to spend the many hours involved, to
be the official stable release manager".

And, as James can attest.. while it is possible to distribute SOME of
the work out, it is not possible to perfectly or randomly distribute
all of the job responsabilities.
To re-use a phrase, "putting 9 women on the job, wont make a baby in 1
month instead of 9".

Why are you objecting to changing the wording? whats the problem?
He's suggested a change to the proposal. Are you only open to some
kinds of change to it?

How about we first fix "the easy part" of updating the wording, and
then move on to the more detailed, labourious parts after that?
