OK.  Let's scrap it for now.

The "internal use case" behind a proposed feature changing so
quickly is a bit worrying.  What is good for this project should
ideally be good for everybody, not only for satisfying a particular
$CORP needs of the day.  But I think the idea of giving enhanced
visibility into stakeholder companies directions and priorities
Emily (I think?)  floated during the contributors' summit may help
reduce such a risk, hopefully.

Thanks.
