This is a great idea, thank you both for raising it. I was discussing something similar with others in a text chat earlier this morning. I've gone ahead and put together a page to cover this discussion:
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/commercialhaskell/blob/master/proposal/...
The document definitely needs more work, this is just meant to get the ball rolling. As usual with the commercialhaskell repo, if anyone wants edit access, just request it on the issue tracker. Or most likely, send a PR and you'll get a commit bit almost magically ;)
Thank you. Just to make sure that I understand -- is this page only meant to cover the original "strawman proposal" at the start of this thread, or...? Maybe you intend for this to be extended in a detailed way under the "Long-term solutions" heading? I was imagining a wiki page which could perhaps start out by collecting all the currently identified possible threats in a table, and then all "participants" could perhaps fill in how their suggestion addresses those threats (or tell us why we shouldn't care about this particular threat). Of course other relevent non-threat considerations might be relevant to add to such a table, such as: how prevalent is the software/idea we're basing this on? does this have any prior implementation (e.g. the append-to-tar and expect that web servers will behave sanely thing)? etc. (I realize that I'm asking for a lot of work, but I think it's going to be necessary, at least if there's going to be consensus and not just a de-facto "winner".)
