Interesting. I considered the distinguishing feature of your proposal
to be that it explicitly *excludes* core devs from the council (to the
extent that you call out that feature as what distinguishes it from
8011). I wasn't keen on that, so I never really got much beyond that
aspect of your proposal to be honest - so it's weird to me that you
don't think it's particularly significant.

But thanks for the clarification.
