You have stated previously that you are making this proposal to "keep 
the group together."

Our basic difference appears to be:

I observe Lawrence stating clearly that he will leave the project if it 
is not hosted on ibiblio.  Most recently, that he will do so if it is 
not hosted on ibiblio immediately.

I support him in making this choice - that is, choosing to leave if his 
needs are not met in this particular way through the outcome of our 
group process.  I do not think his needs concerning hosting on ibiblio 
are more important to the project than our overall group outcomes.

I do not support changing your previous "best compromise" proposal of 
[arashi/zope ----> ibilio], agreed to or at least not blocked by all but 
Lawrence, in order to keep Lawrence from leaving.

At present I don't see any reason for your abrupt abandonment of that 
proposal for this most recent one other than to keep Lawrence from leaving.
Especially when you say:

So I would like to hear some articulation of the complex mess of reasons 
you mention above.
And of course you can say no to my request.
