Apologies: I wrote that exactly backwards. This teaches me to write email
while people are trying to talk to me. The above description is correct,
except that what I said was the new state is the current state, which this
GR is changing.
Currently, a supermajority of 6 cannot override a minority of 2. After
this GR, that would again be possible.
