Can anyone opposed to this proposal articulate in plain english the worst case scenario(s) if it goes ahead?

Some people in the conversation appear to be uncomfortable, perturbed, defensive etc about the proposal …. But I am not seeing specifics on why it is not a feasible plan.

I think you are rubbing against your own presupposition that people must find and alternative right now. Quite a lot here do not believe there is any urgency, nor that there is an immanent problem that has to be solved before the sky falls in.

I have explained why I believe there is some urgency, whereby "some urgency" I mean, assuming it takes months to implement, merge, test, release and for people to upgrade.

But if it makes you happy, imagine that this discussion happens all over again next year and I ask the same question.
