Agreed, altho it seems that's the way the council wanted it...

Then I missunderstood.  The infra objections I'D read appeared (to me) to
be to the subdomain, as it wasn't an issue with the original GLEP.
However, I now see the original GLEP's proposal of addresses vs. the new
GLEP's proposal of aliases is a valid rendering of the objections as well,
and indeed, as you so patiently explain, this doesn't affect that aspect.
Being infra, that pretty absolutely quashes my previous understanding, and
with it, the proposed solution.

Thanks for making it clear to me.  Shot down, indeed, but that's exactly
what I asked for!  =8^)  Too bad it wasn't that simple!
