I don’t think this is relevant, unless ‘wrong-headed approach to the problem’ includes approaches to procedural as well as technical issues. If Sergei had made his proposal on the SRFI 245 list and was unsatisfied by the response, he could still have submitted his own SRFI with his own approach to the problem. As it is, this proposal was sprung on us as a separate, competing SRFI out of nowhere.
