For what it's worth, I have been following the RFC and internals threads on this topic and even after all that still have no strong opinion one way or the other. If there was an "on the fence" option in the polls, I would have chosen that. I did not toss a coin and choose one or the other purely because when there are so few votes, every one is significant — lets let those who feel they have put the time and effort* into coming to a conclusion have their say.
