I'd like to push it out now for public comment, and based on that try to get a new distributor page set up by January. Nice idea, I would just add some kind of deadline for comments. It's not a very complex topic, but still at a certain point we'll want to freeze feedback and turn it into guidelines.

I've always wondered about this myself, so I looked it up. It looks like there are various guidelines, but generally the aim is to avoid confusing the user.
