Summarizing what we have right now is definitely a good idea. If the resulting QUIP is not a consensus, then there are tools available to modify it until it is.

Exactly. The thread on the mailing lost forked into (partially bike shedding) discussions about many topics, and we won’t reach a conclusion continuing that way. Let’s start writing up things in a more structured way, that will hopefully lead us to a better picture on what people agree upon and where we have disagreements that need to be sorted out.
