I don't know about others, but this discussion has generated more content than I can keep track of as a casual but interested observer. I suspect the same is true for others who aren't already involved in the issues at stake, which means you're not getting the perspectives of the community anymore.
Could somebody please point us to some blog posts or wiki pages or other forums (a Wave would be nice, if it comes with usernames ;-) to get an overview and participate more fully in the conversation? I think that might help make the discussion more productive.
