Please allow me three remarks:
1. I always said it's usefull to remove GFDL-invariant/cover texts
   from main. That's _not_ the point of discussion here.
2. It's certainly undue to make such a proposal just a moment before
   the end of a poll. Wait for the poll-result.
3. It's IMHO never good to make any too formal statement in the heat of
   a discussion, if it can be avoided. That's valid for making a DFDG,
   and also for changes of web sites. Settle a discussion first, and
   when everyone has cold blood again, make the official statements.
   (That also means that though I would consider a DFDG usefull, it's
   now not the proper time to make it.)



Cheers,
Andi
