Do you have any thoughts on this, Lars?  I asked you about this shortly
after M-o was unbound, and you said we should wait and see, but as it's
been a year, I wanted to ask again.

I don't especially want to push for M-o to be reserved to end users
myself, but if it is already de facto reserved, I think a lot of people
would be grateful to be given a green light to put something there and
have the confidence it won't ever clash with something useful from
upstream.
