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.
