Absolutely, I understand, I didn't want to imply that "[name] is
rushing the process". Sorry if I sounded this way. I do have an
impression, though, that a large population of core devs is OK with
deadlines and the other sizable population doesn't understand why we
need a strict schedule right now.

IMHO we should tweak the proposal to include just *one date for now*:
we want everybody interested to post their proposals by October 1st
(we can shift it + 2 weeks if people are on vacations right now).

The discussion will inevitably start as soon as we have a couple
proposals on the table.  Some proposals will be withdrawn, some will
require tweaks, people also might come up with new proposals.  We can
then decide what our next steps (and deadlines!) considering what will
be the outcome of these first debates.
