I'm arguing against the tendency to introduce a whole new discovery
framework based on completion.  I think Emacs doesn't need that in
core; whoever wants something like that, can use one of the many
packages out there which implement every possible completion paradigm
under the sun.  We as the core development team should not invest any
significant energy in developing such framework, but should instead
improve and enhance what we already have.

I think we've "had it" ever since 'M-x' started providing completion. Right after that, it became possible to discover commands this way (and I do it all the time, too).

So it's really about improving an existing feature.
