No, this is the european list and we're all frightfully sensible over here. Not a single black helicopter in sight. Must be something they put in the water.
I ought to inject content at this point, but the topic is perilously close to a committee discussion on potential future deck-chair arrangements. So, instead I'd like to give a "me too" to Peter Koch's contribution:

before diving into these or before selecting different options, shouldn't the overall goals of, say, "fairness" and "sustainability" be broken down into a tangible set of criteria against which the solutions could be evaluated? This would also ease the assessment of potential subversion tactics.
We have already asked the important question "what are we trying to do?", to which "find a fair solution for doling out the last /8".
As Peter and others have suggested, we cannot hope to find this "fairness" ideal unless we have a yardstick with which to measure it.
