I'm not convinced that actually works – it seems more like a scam than
anything else, and that sort of scam has a historical tendency to not
work correctly.

This sort of thing does at least tend to win the rule 217 "best
interests of the game" test though!

AGAINST. Proposal result ratification appears to be broken in the
ruleset being ratified (and thus probably the current ruleset) – this
is one of the things I check for when it comes to doing ruleset
ratifications. (Ratification requires the document or statement to have
been published, but proposal result ratification is defined as a self-
ratifying attestation to an unpublished statement, so the ratificaiton
rules don't seem to work properly.) Additionally, proposal distribution
appears to rely on a rule 217 disambiguation (of "authorized" – the
Promotor CAN distribute proposals but no rule explicitly says that they
MAY distribute proposals, and "authorized" means "explicitly
permitted". As such, the published ruleset is dangerously close to not
having the proposal system work at all, with neither the primary method
nor the safeguard unambiguously working.


Recommendation: As you suggested on Discord, have the Assessor
explicitly announce the things being attested. Then submit a new
proposal to fix the rule bug.
