I Would understand if this was an RFC or there was a big block saying 'this
is not yet official' or something, but lt the moment it seems like a change
sent only to the TAB committee as an apparent 'fait complete' with no
indication of it being just a starting point? (forgive me if I missed it).

I think pinging the relevant threads would have been helpful, but maybe we
need a better procedure in general for this kind of thing.

In any case Thorsten posted on fedi so I was made aware and pinged others
:)

I'm not invited to the MS but I wondered if this planned to be discussed
there? I don't really care about my involvement, only that there is
community engagement on this.
