It's not at all about duration, it's about making sure the right people
have looked at the proposal and agreed with the plan.

Unless people that actually build and run benchmarks have agreed with your
proposal, you should not merge a clear breaking change.

Of course, you can always merge, and break people's stuff, and revert, and
then discuss, but I'd strongly encourage you not to do that, as it isn't
nice to other people.

You should ask around, who are the people who build benchmarks. Check with
the target owners, buildbot owners, past threads on benchmarking, and make
sure they're all included in the discussion.

It's really easy to miss an email like this and it's just out of luck that
I didn't.

For now, given the extremely limited platform support abseil provides, even
considering the best effort part, I'd strongly discourage you to merge.
