The Architecture Committee plans on making a decision on this issue on the basis of the Phabricator comments in next week's committee meeting (January 27).

Clarifying this: please make your comments in T118932 now; don't wait for Wednesday's meeting. Wednesday will be your opportunity to say "hey, that commnet I wrote, did you read it? did you understand it? it's really important!". If you're waiting until Wednesday to ambush us with a stellar new argument that's going to change everyone's mind, you are doing it wrong. Make your case *now*.

We've dithered on this one long enough. We really need to end the uncertainty well before the 1.27 release.

Thanks Rob
