If we want to make the question of V = WF definite,
then we could ask: "Are all theories of nonwellfounded
sets proposed so far interpretable in ZFC + WF?"
Since the answer appears to be "yes", I range myself
with those who think of V = WF as a harmless addition
to the set-theoretical axioms that does not rule
out interpretations of weird and wonderful nonwellfounded universes
such as those of Finsler, Aczel, Barwise, Etchemendy,
Larry Moss and other writers on nonwellfounded sets.
