The issue tracker was filled with issues mocking this proposal or arguing against it, this morning a helluva lot of them were closed by the person in charge (it seems), who proceeded to post this: https://blog.yoav.ws/posts/web_platform_change_you_do_not_like/
Essentially dismissing off hand any ethical concerns and that any proposal should be technical, when the fact is that the very core of the idea is rotten. It reads very much as "don't criticize us, just help us build this electric fence around the web"
