I'm changing my vote to -0 to better reflect my initial intention of expressing my dissent, but not
blocking the passage of this outright; as I do not believe I have enough knowledge and experience in
this argument to do such.  (I apologize for any frustration, I wasn't aware at the time my -1 would
solely block this.  I should have RTFM'ed). 

To follow up, I want to re-summarize my dissent here.

I don't know all the ins and outs of this argument, and decided to keep it this way to better
analyze the argument with minimal prior knowledge.  This was to be able to come to this at voting
time with fresh eyes, and have a layman's take.  This allowed me to take the public artifacts here
at face value to understand why we are doing this, and what direction we're heading.

Upon a naive initial searching of google, it appears that the general public sentiment is to not
cherry-pick by default.  I don't doubt that some of these results aren't the most reliable, but the
general sentiment is overwhelming.  To me, this meant that we need to have the reasons and benefits
of moving to cherry-picking clearly spelled out as the obvious choice.  I didn't pick up on that
sentiment from reading the e-mail chain and PUP.

On the suggestion of improving our current merge forward process, that window is left open by others
in the public record appearing to suggest this as a viable option.  If that is in fact an accurate
representation, then to me that is the more preferable route as it sounds like improvements to our
current course instead of charting a complete new one.  If this is not the case, then it probably
should be stated clearly somewhere as to why it isn't a good option.
