To say very explicitly, particularly since you just became a DD
(congratulations and welcome!), there was absolutely nothing wrong with
you proposing this here! It turned out to not be something that people
generally got behind, but that happens, and this is totally the sort of
thing we should be able to talk about as a project and understand.
And even without amending the foundation documents, if anyone ever *is*
bothered by this statement, we now have a recent thread that we can point
them at that says quite a lot about how the project thinks about this
issue.
