Hi all,
> Does anyone object to any of those words ?
This strikes me as yet another attempt at a power grab, so many of the words are objectionable.
However, this phrase will serve to show the weakness of the proposal:
> Anyone may initiate an RFC for any subject.
There needs to be an articulable limiting principle; without it, there can be no strong continuity,
only the current passion of a mob. For example, this phrasing means the RFC system itself can be put
up to vote, to be removed and replaced with something entirely non-democratic.
Some things simply have to be off limits. What are those things?
