No offense meant, but this comes across as a bit divisive. There hasn't even been any real discussion of this issue yet - why would you assume that there would be tension? I'm not saying there won't be any disagreement about approach (to this issue or others like it), but I'd suggest that we actually have the discussion before assuming that it is going to go sour. ;-)
