Seconders have to be expected to keep paying attention to the things they second. If the proposal becomes amended in such a way that they disagree with it, they have to speak up. If they can't be bothered to pay that much attention, they should either not second it in the first, or be prepared to accept that they might lend their support to proposals with which they disagree. Remember, policy is supposed to be a lightweight process. -- G. Branden Robinson | Optimists believe we live in the best of Debian GNU/Linux | all possible worlds.
