Dear all,
I'd like to start the second round of discussion on this topic.
Oliver Retting was so kind to summarize the opinions presented on our
mailing lists.
I myself stared a mini analysis on each option, mentioning my attitude
to them as well.
Please take your time, extend, modify and share your opinions and attitude!
Remember I'm just trying to drive this discussion not dictate it. So any
idea, opposition, pro and con are welcome!

Let's give this round another 2 weeks, what can be extended with another
two if we feel the need.
