26 Not sure if we already should vote on this part (this is not the scope
27 of GLEP58). The general idea looks good to me, but I'd prefer to wait
28 with this decision until it's necessary. Basically that's what you meant
29 with "Then when and if desired" I guess.

57 In general I'm in favor of this GLEP, but seeing Robin's answer in
58 <robbat2-20100208T050927-931425494Z@××××××××××××××.net> I'm not sure if
59 we already need to vote on this GLEP or if it would make sense to wait
60 until we have MetaManifests generated on our rsync master and have some
61 real world measurements.
62
63 If people do feel like voting on this tonight my vote is: Yes
