I do think that this is another point of "we should kill our babies if they don't take off". And preferably faster if/when "we lost" the race. We carried around the debian menu for a decade or so after we failed to gain traction and people centered on desktop files. We failed to gain traction on the structure of the copyright file, and spdx is the one who has won here. This is just going to be more useless work. Things can more or less the same, so let's go with the one where we get the least work requirements in the long run, and not put more resources into the current version. /Sune
