Please do not deprecate format=flowed or introduce a new format option.
There will be no hope of convincing software authors to follow the
standards if the standards keep changing.
I think it would be bad to introduce a new format=foo and not
deprecate format-flowed. Yes, there are deployed implementations of
f=f, but there aren't too many, and I think the software that
supports it will support a new f=x. The intent of Proposed Standard
is to get operational experience, and if necessary modify the
specifications based on what we see from early implementations.
