While I agree that this list should be opened up, I don't think this is the right time. While you were away, this issue was opened up again, and it seemed apparent that few opinions have changed since this issue was voted upon. I suggest tabling the issue for at least a few months, while working on some convincing arguments for allowing a wider audience. If we talk about it now, I'm pretty sure people will feel that it's been done to death and be fairly intransigent.
