Yes, the 1.8.0 is indeed an opportunity to rethink, based on the wisdom we
have gained over the years since the current git was written.
If there has already been a clear consensus that we would have done
something differently if we knew better, it is an opportunity to first
discuss if there is a way to correct these earlier mistakes in a way that
does not have to introduce incompatibility, and if it is not feasible,
discuss a plan to ease incompatible changes in without hurting existing
users too much.
A new discussion or proposal is fine, but you should be able to see that
an effort to start building consensus from now is very much outside the
scope of the discussion for the 1.8.0 we have been having.
Besides, taking what other people said already in the thread also into
account, it looks to me that what you are advocating is too premature to
be called a consensus yet.
