There are two separate potential disputes there now:

 * If the choice is between what we have, and dropping the blends from
   the installer menu, which is better ?  There has been little
   movement from either side on this key point and it remains
   outstanding, despite sterling efforts by some people to find a
   compromise.

   I think the TC is going to have to make a ruling on this, one way
   or another.

 * Is it too late to implement anything better ?  That seems to be the
   suggestion from some quarters, although apparently there is some
   difficulty with getting even review effort, let alone effort to
   help with implementation.

I would suggest that the TC should not delay.  Delay makes the problem
worse.
