I am not going to comment on most things of your email, because I think the discussion would be going nowhere. Also, you should know my answer for some things. So there is no point for me in replying.
Just one thing..

I would prefer if topics that ask for a decision get their own mailing list thread. Not that I expect anyone to object, but it still would be nice to give busy people a chance to notice it. A little courtesy can't hurt, can it?
How much courtesy does it need to make a decision?
I don't know. One email with a fitting subject line shouldn't be too much to ask for, IMO.
Feel free to do so. If you want another thread, you can create one at any time. Nobody is preventing you from doing that.
