Thank you for all your work on this, and please don't consider this any
sort of fault on your part. This happens a lot; people don't really engage
until a GR is actually proposed, and even with the best of preparations,
sometimes that surfaces a bunch of opinions that didn't show up before
then.
I think this is the right decision and I also hope it doesn't discourage
you from continuing to work on this. I don't think anyone is saying that
we shouldn't have this conversation and a vote, only that we (myself very
much included) are realizing that we hadn't actually thought this through
as thoroughly as we had thought.
