Anyone who disagrees with a group is considered an obstructionist by that
group.  I certainly have a preference, but no religion.  If I come to see
that GSE-like approaches are indeed not up to the task at hand, I too will
argue against them.  What I would hate to see, however, is a refusal to
investigate similar proposals to GSE or even to other, rejected solutions
simply because they were shot down years ago.

I am keeping an open mind, and don't view any proposal as a hot button.
