Yeah, that sounds reasonable to me. It's obvious that we have to lift
the moratorium at some point soon, and it doesn't really make sense for
us to have to vote on each stage of lifting it.
With you actively working on pushing /usr-merge forward, you're in a
position to coordinate some of the next steps (to the degree that
maintainers follow your advice). We are in a very different position now
(with dumat in place and a concrete plan) than we were in when the
moratorium was first imposed.
But I'm interested to see if there are other approaches suggested.
