But it seems even more efficient to just oppose your proposal. Why
shouldn't I just do that?
I mean, if you want me to sign on as an ally, then you need to address
the things that are important to me, and so far, you have shown very
little willingness to do that.

I want a proposal that *at once* outlines both the guidelines, and
whatever system there is for allowing exceptions. A proposal that
does only the first part of that is worse than no guidelines at all.
Telling me "this is a great proposal, and we'll figure out the other
parts later" is just no good. I want to see the way the whole thing
will work; not just part of it.
