Well, a GR has been presented and seconded, so let's see how that unfolds!

I'm comfortable making a statement on behalf of the project if
necessary. On this particular issue, I feel it's better that individual
developers go and make their voices heard. That said, I will also
respect the outcome of the GR and follow it if it completes within my term.
