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.
