7 | Any reason why you chose bashing Chris' GLEP in another mail and start
8 | your own instead of working together and bringing your input for 42?

10 Yup. I already had most of my GLEP written, and I don't see anything in
11 ChrisWhite's list of vagueness worth using. Besides, there's nothing
12 wrong with multiple competing GLEPs on an issue.

17 Separate concern.

19 | There are some good ideas in your GLEP, so are some in Chris'. No good

22 | redundant GLEPs discussed.

24 It's my view that ChrisWhite's GLEP is a complete waste of space, given
25 that it doesn't contain an actual proposal. I see no point in using it.
