There was a pretty clear consensus[1].

It's just not the consensus you were looking for, so you appear to have
decided to simply ignore it.

That strikes me as rather rude.

I suspect that you'll struggle to get the seconds to start a GR on this
subject. If you do manage to start a GR, I for one will be seconding and
voting for Paul Tagliamonte's alternative[2] suggestion:

  That we let the listmasters get on with their job in peace.

If that wins, and your option ends up below FD, then you'll have
succeeded in ensuring that there is far more momentum to overcome if the
listmasters ever were to consider changing that section of the CoC.

I suspect that your chances of getting the outcome you wish for will be
much better served by not bothering the rest of us with this, and simply
having a chat with the listmasters -- you never know, you might manage
to become persuasive at some point.

Cheers, Phil.
