Not to throw stones or anything, but are these positions backed by a 
technical knowledge, or political opinions?  If technical, then what are 
the arguments?

I know which I'd prefer, and I'm pretty sure I know which is the more 
generally useful of the two, but I've kept out of the discussion so far 
because I'm not an extension distributor who would be directly affected.

Apologies for the noise.
