I'd also add that sometimes it seems like a good idea to make sure that an opinion which has been voiced but not yet proposed is there so you can demonstrate that the project really doesn't want it and you can cite this next time it's raised rather than have the possible ambiguity. Note that I don't think that's a good reason to call a vote, but to propose an amendment... maybe. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
