This is a critical comment, and understated.

All of the proposals do absolutely nothing to address the fundamentl 
problem CVE faces. All of the proposed changes are the proverbial 
deck-chair arranging on a sinking effort.

It is truly difficult to comprehend how so much time can be spent on 
pedantic policy like this while ignoring the bigger problem. I mean, I 
am 
all for VDB pedantry, and Steve Christey and I had some epic threads 
and 
conversations along those lines. But this isn't a case where changing 
the minutiae of the current policy will fix anything, at all.
