Hey, if I was in control, we would have switched loooooong ago.
Certainly there's been no lack of people advocating change.

In any case, what choice do we have?  Currently there seem to be three
options:

    1) We don't want for Eric's report, and discuss what to do without it.

    2) We wait for the report, and use it as starting-point to discuss
       what to do.

    3) We wait for the report, and just accept whatever conclusions it
       comes to, without discussion.

Option (3) is clearly unacceptable.

I personally feel there's enough expertise on this list to make (1)
viable, but as others have expressed a desire to see what Eric says, and
as a concise summary of the issues might help those who are unfamiliar
with them, (2) seems like the best option.
