It is, ultimately, yes, but while almost all of the administrative decisions
here have been clear and solid, some (like this) are too complex and without
precedent to make a comfortable gut-level determination. Input is strongly
needed in this case, and I'm not likely to go against the grain on this one.
I also suspect that if this were put into effect without gathering opinions,
it's the type of thing that would go through without tumult -- at least
initially. Certainly, even those privately opposed would be more likely to
think to themselves, "Well, let's give this a try and we'll see in a couple
weeks whether this is good or bad -- only time will tell," than to post
flamage. But by then it could be too late.
