I would think this is too minor for the TSC to bother.  But if you want
to take it on, why should I object?  It does take up bandwidth on this
list from time to time, so much is true.  Personally, I don't think the
best option would be to rule in favor of one or the other faction,
because that's what it would be seen for.  I don't think the TSC can
really win and resolve this issue.

*If* the TSC decides to vote on this, may I propose to have it decide
that people are free to include PR as r0 or not as they see fit,
perpetuating current practice. I think that is about the only sensible
solution we can find here.  If anything were to be made definitive, it
should be that devs - when speaking "officially" or something that could
be perceived as such - ought to make sure to stress this is a matter of
(their) personal preference.

Please don't let the TSC turn into some bureaucratic monster that
regulates everything.  When in doubt, feel free to not rule at all.
