If the developers could change this fundation document by the very
same way, and they explicitly only do an override for a specific
situation instead of putting more text into this fundation document,
why shouldn't this be allowed? (Or perhaps view it just as a very
implicit change to the fundation document. Our constitution does not
disallow this.)
