I believe that we should consider adding round robin in the *next* version
of this document; this one has already had a (very extended) last call, and
we could easily get stuck in an endless loop of "just adding another term"/

Also, this sort of document would have been an ideal test case for "Living
Documents", but that particular effort never came to fruition[0].

consensus seemed unlikely. Almost everyone agreed that we needed something
like this, but almost everyone had a different idea of what it should look
like…
