 I don't see that people are only discussing things are are only
peripherally related. You said:

And people have been discussing to how high a degree they think that
is true. Also you said:

which includes the same assumption as above which is being discussed.
Furthermore some people have replied, just as a information, that it
is still possible to give it a lower priority on your team without
changing the "supported languages"-procedure.

Personally I wouldn't mind making a more elaborate measure that simply
the percentage. So that you could assign weights to different modules.
But I think that simply removing it is a unnecessary "quick and
dirty"-fix to something which is essentially a start up problem.
