Right, well, here's my situation.  Tite has fallen under the stewardship 
of Council, so I feel like there should be a consensus (or at least a 
majority) of Council members supporting any change to Tite.  You might 
not have a use case for Tite, so it's fine with me if you abstain, just 
as I'm largely doing from our recent discussions of the proposal on 
genetic editions.  I know I asked for feedback on these tickets in 
February, but I hadn't responded to Sebastian's comment until after that 
date, so I wanted to give others a chance to review it before I consider 
there to be no objections.
