Right, the important point here is "permanent limitation". A semipermanent limitation that we can repeal, like the one in AIAN, doesn't create an ossification (as long as the repeal, plus a followup proposal, would fit into the four-week time limit). A permanent limitation would, though, regardless of its nature. -- ais523
