There is a discussion on WP:AN about this [1] which has incidentally spilled over onto my talk page. No I'm not canvassing or asking anybody to comment there, but I'd just like some personal feedback, so I can at least figure out whether I've gone completely nuts or if the concerns I've raised have some degree of merit.
