Hi all, I notice there's been relatively little feedback here on the list so far. During the recent Summit session, the idea seemed to have stronger support, so I'm wondering: are we reaching the same people on this list, or is there actually less enthusiasm for this than I anticipated?
If there isn't clear support, it might indicate that there's little appetite to move this forward. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts (either way) so we have a better sense of whether it's worth pursuing. Thanks!
