I object to being asked to vote on a meaningless proposal. If I vote
for 3, am I voting for an amendment to DFSG, Social Contract or
Constitution? Which one of those? What exactly is the text of the
change? I am a good deal more reluctant to vote for a fundamental
change than for a position paper.
To express the ballot choice in such a way automatically imposes biase.
