My view is that the T/L rider should apply to jessie+1 and beyond, as
well as to jessie. The text I have just emailed would IMO do that.
It would be IMO better to make a decision now and explicitly revisit
it if it turns out to be wrong, than to make no decision on T/L for
jessie+1 and definitely have to have the argument again then.

A GR can selectively uphold the TCs decision if it wants to.
