This leads me to believe you have not read the proposal, and are
coming into this discussion in the middle (if you had read the
proposal, this is not a concern that you could have voiced).
Since it is going to be far less noise in the channel i you read
the proposal, and come back with concerns that are relevant to the
proposal,

Again, if you read the proposal, you would know what was being
proposed. Please go back, read the proposal, and then come back to the
list with your concerns.
