To be clear, my proposal is to see how the devops community feels
about this, before deciding it's a good idea, without their input.

As soon as it's clear that *everyone* feels this way, we should do it.
Until then, we should not make decisions that impact the community
(e.g., taking something away that may be valueable to some) without
getting their feedback and finding some way transition in a way that
keeps everyone happy.
