Honestly, it is best if the arch teams take the initiative on these
sorts of things.  They're in the best place to figure out what their
users' needs are.

The Council tends to get involved when the issue escalates to the
point where it becomes a burden on maintainers.  It is always better
for the arch teams to manage their own problems.

So, by all means put it on the Council agenda, but I'd strongly
encourage the ppc arch team to weigh in with their opinion - if we can
form a consensus on the list you don't even need the Council to vote.
Not that we mind - it is just better to solve things collaboratively.
