Hey Carlos,
Can you (or someone else on the list, perhaps even someone who was involved
in voting this down) provide some more details as to why it was rejected?
What were the arguments in favor of rejecting the proposal?  This seems
like an interesting idea to me, and one that I can't immediately come up
with any arguments against from my own perspective.  There's probably some
room for discussing and tuning specifics, but ultimately the concept seems
reasonable to me.  What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Matt
