I think that view is too optimisic. I think the other _prevents_, etc.

If we repeat the 2003 discussion now, what will that change? AFAICT,
nothing. I can't think of anything that has changed in the past two
years, so we'll just spend a few months, arrive at the same conclusion
as last time, and the draft will be x more months delayed.

Speaking as one of the people who wanted replaceheader back, I reluctantly
have to agree with this assessment. Let's move forward with what's there
now.
