Exactly.

We probably can't. The two sides are pretty firmly entrenched, and without
changing that, some group is likely to be unhappy.

No, because there will almost certainly be a large contingent who do not
agree with that position (that "the (potential) downsides are worth the
potential gain"). So I don't think any consensus around that position is
feasible.


As Christian points out, there is nothing to stop people from experimenting
with it locally, though.
