[J3] work on F202X at #217?

[Dan Nagle]

Hi,

My hope is that proposers of new features will write papers
with their use-cases.  Subgroup can then discuss them.
Subgroups bring their use-case papers to plenary, who vote
an item yea or nay.

Or something.

The idea is to find a balance between benefit and cost.
