Actually, I do see a reason. There is a difference between a
superset and the same wqith addons: the difference between the
proposals may cover material that is deemed critical by the proponets
of the superset.
Indeed, given a choice of my proposal, doing nothing, and your
proposal, that would be my ordering. In other words, I would prefer
the flaw of not allowing any changes to non technical documents to
allowing the changes without the protection of a supermajority to
Documets IO believe are more critical to the core of the project than
the constitution itself.
So yes, I would prefer that we vote on the superset first; (if
you think that is is a strict superset, and fully contains your
proposal, you should have no objections, right? ;-), since if the
superset passes the subset has passed too, and you have achieved your
goal).
Frankly, I don't think my proposal is really a superset.
