What would be the appropriate way to follow up on that idea?  The 
last I saw DIP 1006 was undergoing formal review, but the end of 
that period seems to have passed with no further follow-up.

I could always write up an alternative DIP, but I don't know if 
that would be the most constructive way forward.
