Oh, I didn't answer the question.  Do I want you (or anybody) to?
Not really, especially during the pre-release freeze period.

I wasn't heavily involved in the "let's use asciidoctor-native to
bypass xmlto" or "asciidoc is not exactly abandoned, but we should
prepare ourselves to make asciidoctor the default" discussion, but
I've seen people I trust voice their opinion and trust them enough
to believe that a concensus among them would lead to an acceptable
future, so I'd rather stand on the sideline, and see people discuss
and come up with a concensus before I pick the final product when
the next cycle opens.

And it would help to make sure reviewers can pick it up and apply it
to their trees, if a patch series, even as a discussion material and
not a final submission, wants to lead to such a concensus.

Thanks.
