Makes sense to me. I would also like to suggest that people should *not* use 
the bracket convention for things besides platform, like [dom] or 
[style-queue]. Some people (e.g. me) use queries to split bracket-prefix 
patches into a separate list, and it's better not to hide general-purpose 
patches.
