Or it's possible that widespread opposition to the proposal at a more
basic level than the AC is a factor in considering whether we should
consider doing it some other way.

I and many other's opposed 130 because we belive that assignment method
lacks any justification. A lack of consensus that it's even remotely a
good idea seems like a factor for the AC to consider.

No, we don't do it that way.
