Hi Milos, Thanks for the pointer. On the proposal page, I'm missing a somewhat clear and straightforward summary of the arguments in favor and against closing (why is the request made, and what was considered). That seems like valuable information for such discussion.
Would you see the opportunity to summarize your view (or of the views of the proposers) on the top of the page? Thanks in advance!
