I was kind of hoping that I can avoid the decision and also I can avoid having to remember it, by waiting long enough and either seeing nobody on the list bring it up again, in which case we can safely forget it, or somebody asks "what happened to this, I want it too!", in which case the original submitter would resubmit after the dust settles after 1.5.2, possibly with a necessary rebase and clean-up. I'll see which one is the case in the coming few weeks ;-).
