Let's go free/easy. :)

I'll try to come up with something and see if it's at all possible to
have a review system based on Google Docs' comments (we use it quite
successfully at Linaro). It should be ok for "previously mostly
agreed" docs.

Yes. There has been a lot of discussions on sub-mod vs. mono-repo, and
most people said we need both points reasonably well discussed and
consolidated to make the survey return more accurate results.

Excellent! I agree with you.

KISS, I like it.

That's good. I think we can have two summaries, one from the survey
and one from the BoF, and then take some time to digest and take the
decision later.

Leaving the decision for the BoF wouldn't be fair to all people that
didn't attend, even if we took the survey's results in consideration.
