Then I apologize if your suggestion has been missed to do that like
this (there were too many emails stuck in loops and probably time
period of 5 to 10 years in the future is a bit problematic to
understand, and last but not least a bit of an issue when there is a
very clear feedback from people present since day 1 where they
recommend something else). I guess we should really highlight also
such option and discuss this more rationally back then. Now, we have
postponed this until who knows when and also without any clear
guideline for what will happen with short tags if they will be ever
removed or not...
