What do you prefer? For the election committee to email foundation-l
when every technical issue come up, leave it a few days for it to be
talked to death, see if there's a consensus, and then if there's
consensus to see if anyone want to implement whatever the consensus is
regarding a solution? Or alternatively, along with the sysadmins (mainly
Tim), & SPI try and resolve the problem as quickly as possible?

I'm sure will be happy to go with the first one, it'll mean less work
and worry for me (and others). Simply press forward to foundation-l, and
sit back for a few days.

The sysadmin & election committee obviously should have foreseen someone
would go and decide localhost is an open proxy and hence should be
indefinitely blocked.... </sarcasm>
