I think the maintainer saw the writing on the wall, so I count this as
a successful intervention by the TC.  (I hope the new maintainers will
prove me right.)  That there wasn't a formal vote is beside the point.

FAOD I value your opinion, and it doesn't make me happy to hear that
from you.  I've been thinking about this and will think some more.

I still (perhaps, even more so) believe we need to have a better way
