This doesn't parse well. I've not re-read this thread, but where is it the council saying "no, it's a bad idea"; rather than people who are active moderators/contributors saying "the current situation was ultimately decided by Stskeeps; let's revisit this wisely rather than blindly". Personally, I don't care either way (and expect that we'll obviously have a Mer subsection at some point); but I object to the suggestions this is a conspiracy, and by emphasising that this is something the "NEW community council" should discuss it furthers the idea that this is something being blocked or handled by the current one. I didn't say you did. I would hope the council are dealing with more important issues than something which is ultimately a decision for the Mer project leaders and the tmo moderators based on community input. The council would be involved, but the council aren't that special - I would hope that the new council would continue to listen to the oldest and most experienced hands in the community.
