I think a CFV at this point would be premature. Part of the role of an
RFD is to generate discussion about what groups to suggest in the CFV.
We have seen less than a handful of posts about that, the majority of
posts being about 'to split or not to split'. Let me remind everybody
that as per the Usenet guidelines, the vote will not be about whether
to split the group or not. The vote will be about the creation of a
number of proposed subgroups. In the end it could be that none of the
subgroups would pass (this would mean no split), all of them will
pass, or just some.

I think that further discussion about what subgroups to propose in the
CFV is due at this point.
