So I'm one of the concerned ones. I prefer caution simply because we do
indeed not know them. Since other options exist (and are currently in use),
I don't see the rush in moving away from our current "safe state".

Kieran asked repeatedly if others were OK with this objection (where I was
indeed the only one going along with him) or if anyone objected explicitly
to such a statement (where there was complete silence - repeatedly).
