That's the "dispute" I alluded to.  If the word "dispute" is
unfortunate here, I take it back, but the main point remains: the
issue is still under discussion, with new aspects being revealed and
discussed, so it doesn't sound like we gathered enough feedback to
allow us to make a decision, not yet anyway.
