Fair point, but I honestly do not see how the stated very strong burden of 
proof to revert previous proposals has been met. The new proposal does seem to 
do anything really to address the needs of those that have a legitimate use for 
scoped access and the current state of things does not make life impossible for 
people who want to use file based visibility only or mostly. I really want to 
avoid having another proposal like the one that removed argument labels from 
blocks (burying them from the type param) that is incomplete and supposed to 
get addressed, but still has not been almost a year later.

This proposal as it is does not feel complete and I do not think this helps it 
satisfy the burden of proof needed for this release.
