I also wanted to make this longer, but I couldn't find how :-)

Right (although I'm not sure I agree with the fact that your last point
increases the negative feedback). What about this:

- some negative and positive feedback, with strong opinions in both
  cases.
- no consensus on how this module should be included (should it replace
  the current menu? Should it only be an option?), while this question
  plays a central role when considering inclusion of this module.
- <paste here the rest of the explanations>

This might still give a 50-50 impression, but I must admit I hate
sounding harsh :-)
