IMO mailing lists are a bit different than IRC... but never mind now.

That's a valid concern... <sigh> Right now I'm the one doing that stuff.

Actually, we need a consensus whether it is appropriate to darken all of the
pages because of these unfortunate events... someone raised that point on
-private already IIRC -- the users might not want to know about this and we
have no need to "push" it onto them too much.
Personally, I'm not sure. We didn't darken the pages when Espy died, FWIW.

That's because the vote pages seem to be a sensitive subject, and we (the
general crowd of web editors) tend not to touch it, since gecko as the
project secretary used to do it. But heck, I had to update the at one point,
and it seems I'll just have to do it again. <grumble>
