How did the shepherds determine that there is a real problem that this
solves and that it requires a codified solution?

Can you demonstrate "general support" and why general support is not
anything more than disinterest? I'm curious about that since I can't
see the support you describe, especially support that would insist
that we continue to haggle over this. There are occasions where
proposals should die and not continue to be subject to repeated edits
to try and "find" an audience.
