The whole point of this proposal is that it doesn't significantly change what the social contract means - it just restates it more clearly. Therefore, objecting to it on the grounds that "we don't know what we want it to say" is not something that makes sense to me. Given that I have already proposed a GR that *does* change what it means as well, it should be fairly clear that I don't object to changing it. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
