Agreed - and while there isn't consensus on the way forward, this one narrow aspect does seem to have majority (though not unanimous) support.

If it would be helpful, I'd be willing (not exactly happy, but willing) to take an hour and tally views expressed just on Paul's "2021a1 + 2021b" proposal vs "just release 2021b as 2021a + Samoa". It's all getting rather pressing, given that it's now only 32 hours until 2021a says Samoa will change its clocks.

So, would such a tally actually be useful to anyone?
