I agree. Even the FAQ's first section and the vote header contain better
motivations.

Since "as a group the committee is officially neutral" we should either have
neutral pages or pages which contain reasons for and against the change; but
as there might be nobody opposing the change who will give arguments, the
pages could only include pro-changing statements (like the FAQ does yet).
