    These proposal revisions make sense to me and I can't think of any issues these recommended revisions would cause.

    I have no objections to this proposal, especially since it appears to represent an international agreement on preferred sources.

    I agree with the proposed change. I'm a big fan of making documentation more consistent.

    Also, early printed materials were generally not issued with covers/jackets, so the revised order of the list makes a lot of sense.

    The proposed revision for the reordered list of preferred sources for early printed resources makes sense to me:

    1. Title page / title sheet / title card
    2. Colophon
    3. Caption
    4. Cover or jacket issued with the manifestation

    This modest but meaningful change promotes clarity, reduces cross‑standard inconsistency, and supports catalogers working with both RDA and rare‑materials frameworks such as DCRMR.  I support this proposal.

    I did not get any feedback from the Metadata Interest Group, but I support this proposal.
