Andrey,

I have adjusted the RFC accordingly, though we haven't generally been
very consistent with CPL config option naming in the past.

Unfortunately our two business days (and a bit) have passed without
getting enough support for the RFC to pass.  Under the assumption (hope!)
that folks have just been to busy to review it, I'm going to keep the
motion alive for an extra two business days (till Tuesday evening).

Any PSC members who have concerns are encouraged to raise them.  If there
isn't support by then, I guess I'll have to shelve this plan and see what
alternative I can come up with.

Best regards,
