Sorry for the delay on this, but yes we are open to having a conversation around clarifying which changes necessitate broader community feedback. As you know, we negotiated the existing language as part of the agreement to end the Moderator Action last year. It’s clear that the language that finally made it into the agreement was a little vague and didn’t capture a number of potential use cases, so we are open to a reevaluation of that and an enhanced definition. But that conversation is outside the scope of this particular post.

Philippe agrees that there is a need to re-define this, so we’ll put it on our backlog as a task to look at sometime in the next fiscal year (which begins April 1st, 2024).
