Since the rules require an RFD to precede a CFV, this is a safe assumption.
The RFD was posted here and on other groups. What little discussion there

becoming (I think) the most active discussant. 8-)

However there has been little discussion of this proposal in any forum. I
hope this doesn't indicate a general lack of interest.
