I think most people agree with the wariness overall. My thoughts are that this still leaves boatloads and stones, and there's 2 or 3 promising economic proposals floating around on list and in discord. At some point Sets has to move before those things happen. I also have a small economic proposal planned for later. -- nix Herald

This should specify the order of the repeals – repealing two rules without specifying the order doesn't work. (This is an important mechanic, both for working out the resulting gamestate in cases where it matters, and for catching accidental breakage that might repeal much of the ruleset simultaneously.) I plan to vote against this proposal regardless, though; not only do I think the Set economy is still functional, I'm very wary of proposals to repeal the economy without putting a lot of thought into a viable replacement. Historically, attempts to repeal the economy without replacing it tend to cause Agora to fall into a multiple-month slump (and we already just repealed Glitter). -- ais523
