Have we come to voting yet? I have failed to understand relevance in the
form as posted, the two-sentence summary hasn't made things better, the
project per se may be interesting if there are interesting new ideas 
about various stuff, and there probably are but none were announced 
visibly in the original post. Text about governance of a project not
directly related to Nix impedes skimming the substantial ideas of the 
project itself from the message.

In my opinion, the original message contained too much of a call to an 
action unrelated to Nix.
