I understand the policy, but the effect is apparently to limit that
discussion to Wikien-L and not on WP itself.

Is that the (big picture) right thing to do?

Would Raphael paraphrasing the whole WP:OURS page instead of just cutting
and pasting it get around the current GFDL issue, or is the very existence
of a WP:OURS page forbidden forever now since Resid got himself banned,
requiring a retitle as well?  If Raphael retitled and paraphrased/rewrote
from scratch the proposal, would that still be banned in your
interpretation?

Again, this commentary is NOT any kind of support for WP:OURS.  I'm just
uncomfortable with how the proposal's being treated at the moment.
