Same applies here, your attitude is dismissive and you do not provide input
regarding the technical merits or shortcomings of the proposal.

This you personal opinion only and the points listed by Michael are
objectively not completely addressed by the Wiki.
The matter has been discussed several times, including on IRC with you.
You have the right to disagree but please do not make generalities.

Instead of leaving the discussion getting out off hand and having to
reconnect pieces scattered across several emails, may I suggest that you
formalize your take on documentation ?
Please do it in a reasonable time frame so that we can keep the momentum of
Michael's initiative.

I am personally very positive about the proposed system as it solves
several shortcomings of the existing one. If not better proposition is
voiced and *implemented* I do not see why the idea cannot move forward.
If criticism does not lead to a better solution and offers no
implementation, one cannot justify not moving forward.

This is a discussion, let us remain open and courteous and let us get back
to the topics: technical benefits + contribution process.
