AFAIR, nothing was decided on ;-) ... the list has gone 'round on this
topic a few times without achieving anything you could call consensus.

I think Robert Easter might have his hands on the right idea: there
is more than one concept here, and more than one set of applications
to be addressed.  We need to break things down into component concepts
rather than trying for a one-size-fits-all solution.
