Sur4ely you mean years? I don't expect to see much
constitutional activity in one or two weeks.

If enough of us think that the features are good, we can pass
a general resolution protocol. We have already thought long and hard
about the constitution, and so far, it seems good. If there is
something really missing, surely we can get the votes to get the
features added in?
Delibration is all very well, but at some point one has to
act. If we continually second guess ourselves, we shall never get
anywhere.
Moreever, If I had evil plans for hijacking the project and
throwing the project leader into the nuclear scarred molten remains
of Liverpool (MUAHAHAHAHA); all I have to do is wait for two weeks
and then do it. Till then, everyone be on their best behaviour. You
gotta act sometime, heh heh heh.

tired of waiting for months for the darned constitution.
