Thank you, William; although I believed this was the intention, it is
important to see it in black and white. I have lost count of the number of
times someone has told the community "oh, let's just try this, if we don't
like it we can go back to the other way," without any realistic intention to
consider turning something off/reverting a policy/reinstating a practice.

I look forward to seeing what all we've learned in the coming two months.
