Yeah, I'm not quite sure how to register such displeasure.  In
particular, I think it's probably poor form to object to maintenance
work on a base specification, even if we're opposed to that
specification's use elsewhere.  At least, assuming we don't want to
make the argument that the energy being spent on that maintenance
shouldn't be.

I'm inclined to leave this one alone, unless somebody else comes up
with a better position we could take.
