I do certainly appreciate the non-profit nature of SIL and how busy everyone is. But AFAIK, when other free software licenses have been upgraded, the community has participated, and it sure seems like there are a lot of interested parties who are willing to comment on these FAQ changes and white paper. And it seems rare that a license would be upgraded on any sort of schedule; it's usually undertaken only when a real-world issue triggers it or a really long time has elapsed. Ultimately, that's orthogonal to the third reason mentioned, of course. OFL is their license; no question about that, and it is and should be their call.
