I just can't believe that this has spurred another vote - I mean, the whole
first proposal was a joke, trying to replace something that is arguably POV by
something that is an even worse POV. And now everybody who doesn't want to
suddenly face an absurd rule has to go through the whole BS *again*? Oh
please, don't do this to us!
