It's a nice point which i was expecting. As with any change, some changes are expected and if i am not mistaken, the source is some text documents and updating them means running a script over them locally. > The only advantage you've offered is some relatively weak notion that > it ceases to be a proposal once it's accepted, and since "PAP" would > still have the word "Proposal" in it, you're not really even changing > that. > > All law projects remain law projects.

The thread dying off is in itself a sign that the idea is weak and does not hold much value. But if someone brings a point that would re-start the discussion i think it's better to notify him. I'm good if the thread dies off without any further input than rebringing what has already been told.
