I don't think this is a particularly constructive way to continue this
conversation.

You say "we", but I'm certain that you don't mean to speak for
everyone. I, for one, am glad that the LLVM Foundation is putting in

I think our community does need one, and I think the one that has been
proposed is a good starting point for conversation.
