I think the real question is whether you as creator of the design are
going to be working on the implementation. That would the usual
progression of things.

As I see it we have on the one hand a substantially complete
implementation of one solution and a design draft of the other with
nobody signed up to even implement a prototype at the moment.

Given that I think we should surely go with the available solution for
4.3, which does meet our current needs AFAICT (most of the stuff which
the other design adds is gravy AFAICT). If something better comes along
(be that the FIFO design or something else) in the future then we can
consider it on its merits then.

Ian.
