In the end the community will decide what is or is not to be done, and I'm no longer going to push for one or the other. I see both sides, and I'm no longer certain that my proposal was the best thing for the list (though it isn't a strictly *bad* proposal).
I was just panicking to see people I consider to be "Founding Fathers", or at the very least very significant and important contributers dropping off the list like flys.
Thank you for your replies, kindness, patience, forbearance, etc.
