An AI 3.0 proposal can amend any rule.
I don't like this idea. The history of this provision is that I gave a CFJ
judgement essentially establishing something like this. Everyone
(especially G.) thought it was a terrible idea, and they persuaded me. CAN
has a very sensible default meaning currently, that allows us to do things
like specifying a method in one place and enabling its use in another.
Also, the need to write out the by announcement makes you think about
whether that's actually what you want. But most of all, I just really don't
like making this implicit, even if it's explicitly defined as being
implicit.
Those are my gut reactions anyway, apologies if they're less than cogent.
