Note that Guido has ruled this form out, in a pretty strong way ("I really
hate this"[1][2]) so if you want to change his mind, you'll need to come up with
arguments as to why he's wrong. 

I'm not saying that this isn't possible, more that merely collecting a concensus
vote isn't likely to do much. Strong technical arguments are much more likely
to work.
