There were two basic arguments, one by analogy to struct (which argues this should be an error) and one by conservatism (it's annoying, and if we move forward with implied bounds in other places, we may want it here, so it's odd to first lint everyone to add where-clauses, and then make them redundant).

what was the decision made here?

did this meeting happen? is there a doc now?
