Can you provide evidence for this? I've done a search on the archives
(it would have been easier if relax were not a normal English verb) and
I can't find any. There are a number of individual messages that mention
RELAX in passing, e.g. to illustrate alternative type semantics; but no
minutes that indicate that RELAX has ever been discussed or "brushed
aside".

That might well be true. Integration with Schema has certainly been at
times a painful process: I never suggested otherwise.
