So would the attached diff match your intent [0]?
It'd be good if you (as well as Andreas, as GR proposer) could comment
on the full series of commits in that repository, to make sure we all
agree on a constitution diff.

Subject: Delete most of A.6(3) (which implemented the supermajority by
dropping options at an early stage). Specifically:
- Move A.6(3)(1) (the definition of V(A,B)) to a new subparagraph
A.6(3)(0) before A.6(3)(1).
- Remove the rest of A.6(3) entirely, leaving A.6(2) to be
followed by A.6(4).
