yes, it is only a small amount of things. Shouldnt that be an argument in
*favor* for "hey, its easy to fix, so lets do it quickly and move on"?
I just want to make sure that the ballot shows the effective work impact of
each way.
6 vs 120 packages
long time to converge, vs short. (days vs months!)

not omniscient, so I dont see all possible issues at once myself! :-}
