I would suggest that declassification of posts affected by a GR be put on hold if a proposal is made for a GR while the GR process takes place [since the absolute minimum time that a GR can take is 2 weeks.] 4.2.2.1 does cover this, but getting 10 developers to sponsor on short notice may be difficult. In any case, I second this proposal with or without the amendment suggested above. Don Armstrong -- Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters.
