It wasn't.  It's just that, well, I agree with Mitchell when she says
that the MPL may have warts and rough edges, but it has been tested by
time.  If we're going to dress up and hire a band for a license, it's
not going to be for some johnny-come-lately license.

But note that that's just one L-P committee member talking.  I haven't
heard anybody else suggest into what tier a newly approved license
should be placed.  Not word one.  Unsolved problem.  Suggestions
should go to license-proliferation-discuss since they're dealing with
tiering.
