[Changing the subject line because, as I noted when I posted the
original proposal, the proposal was *not* about changing the
recommended list at this time. Please use the original subject line
for comments germane to my original proposal.]

this email address) and my archives don't appear to have any such
drafts or discussions from you. I'd be happy for pointers to them,
though.
