[Gabriel Scherer]

In any case, I think that this discussion is maybe a bit premature,
given that it is not clear yet whether we will proceed forward merging
#1014. I think we could safely delay discussion here (if there needs
to be a discussion separate from the GPR?) until a firm decision is
made on #1014.
