We really do.

I'd say we let maintainers resolve this themselves, and if there's a dispute between maintainers, raise that dispute to the ctte and get a ruling on that. I don't like assuming our maintainers aren't fit to make sound technical decisions regarding this as of yet. I also trust maintainers to accept sound patches fixing such lock-in.
