Ok, but manaoj's amendment, which you approved, doesn't allow for that, which
is why i was surprised when you accepted it.
I believe, following our discussion on irc, that you probably misunderstood
the impact of the amendment, and others seem to have wildly different
interpretations of it from what Manoj originally meant.
In this way, i beleive it is a bad amendment, if nothing else because it
brings confusion as to its interpretation, and it brings the risk of us being
at the same point, post-vote as we are today.
I strongly urge you to recall your acceptance of it, and instead search
together a better position during the irc meeting tomorrow.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
