I see your concern, EEM, but I don't think ATM will suffer tangibly for it. ATM (and CT) are already polarized that way. I don't think having it in its own section will change anybody's mind at this point.
What having it in its own section may do is further reinforce the burden of proof that ATM proposers (like CT proposers) are going to be held to. Again, it won't affect people who are serious about it, but it may deter a few of the dabblers. Or it may not. I don't think we'll see anything significant either way.
