Sorry, one word is clearly unclear and I should've expanded, as it turns out I misunderstood the context of Christian's comment.
I think it's farcical to establish the opinion of the entire community based on a small RFC. I think Fabrice's proposal to gather the opinion of a much larger audience is great and I look forward to supporting it. Most importantly, I think in the future we should lead with such an approach, and I call on Analytics folks to encourage / support that.
p.s. Sorry for the off-topic message, Dan. On-topic, I agree with Erik Z's approach of A/B testing which viewer is default, it seems like good science.
