I had some feedback on v2 here which still applies: https://public-inbox.org/git/87k234tti7.fsf@gmail.com/

It would be good to either get a reply to that, or if you don't think it's sensible for whatever reason and left it out of v3 have a "feedback received but discarded for <reason>" in these summaries as you're sending new versions.

Aside from the mail I sent I think that would be very useful in general if there's been any other such feedback (I honestly don't know if there has, I haven't been following this actively).
