Well, G. said e proposed the rule to illustrate a security hole in
R106, which eir "power-limit precedence" proposal, soon to be adopted,
is meant to fix. Should we could wait for someone to try to test that
before repealing the rule? Personally I plan to keep voting "AGAINST
if a Notice of Veto has been published..." on most proposals I'd
otherwise vote FOR until the threat of unexpected last-minute vetos
goes away.

It’s never been used, and IMO it’s more annoying than anything else.

Are you looking at Rule 2350 ("Proposals"), which is the only place I 
see that wording ("remove (syn. retract, withdraw)")? I was looking at 
Rule 105 ("Rule Changes"), which does not define "withdraw".

Retitle Rule 2557 to "Sentencing Guidelines".

published much later, 2018-10-14, and has R2557 in or close to its
current form. I don't know exactly what happened there.]

Why that rule?  It's only a few months old; there are a lot of other
rules that are much more stale.

Does anyone else agree that a "by announcement" is needed here? If so, 
someone might want to get a proposal submitted by the next distribution.

Does Proposal 8181 actually fix it?  Rule 2557 still needs a "by announcement".

In any case, it seems to be true that Proposal 8181 hasn't even been adopted.

I judge both CFJ 3743 and CFJ 3753 FALSE, with the above-quoted
messages as evidence.
