It seems clear that everyone agrees that UI concerns need to be included in the review process. There doesn't seem to be agreement on retracting the FWT selection. For my money, I think any sort of retraction or re-openning of the process would be a mistake. I also think that simply saying "Don't worry, we'll consider UI" could be inadequate to ensure UI is considered sufficiently. It is most certainly inadequate to redress the concerns of those who raise the complaint and agree with it. So I think it makes a lot of sense to find an alternate way to formalize the inclusion of UI concerns into the review process. As such I'm +1 on formalizing the 'UI impact component' part of the PLIP process. More specifically I think we should require that every PLIP have a UI expert weigh in on the estimation of UI considerations and if a PLIP has UI considerations then we should require that a UI expert fully reviews those UI impacts.
