+1 on consulting the OSC. I think the initiative is trying to capture as
much consistency across the OS ecosystem as feasible. So, definitely OSC
is a good & thus important pointer.

Makes sense on the applicability on the purist principles (in this case
consistency approach to the design).

I would to like to chat a bit more on the system engg. perspective as
well. I think there's a bit more to the design that consistency but all
the discussions will be quite subjective/abstract right now and
inappropriate for the ML discussions (possible cause of another set of
confusions).

If possible, let's all gather at the summit.
