Hasn't this been discussed at length already in previous threads? I'm
all for discussion and even revisiting topics to some extent, but it
doesn't seem healthy that we come back to a dead discussion, raising
the same topics again, over and over, not taking into account what has
already been said about it, not doing proper research beforehand, not
taking into account constraints such as the looming freeze...
