I can't speak for anyone else, but I definitely have discussed this issue with a large number of people. I can't tell you in which specific fora, because it usually became a very brief conversation since there really is only one plausible answer (*especially* in the light of the precedents set by other architectures.)
Ingo's mention of it on LKML in this email:

... is pretty typical of how the conversation usually went.
