I also support Bill's suggestion.

I do appreciate Vittorio's work, and see some points
I agree with, but given the limited remaining time, I think
we should stay within pragmatic and agreeable solution.

I think the debate will not end anyway anytime soon,
especially on Forum, and we can still visit more issues
as we proceed.
