Vote: abstain
After some consideration over the weekend of the input from here I
change my vote. The world changes, and so should the rules as
necessary.
The "abstain" is more about that I would have preferred fixing the
rules first so that we would not be in this situation.
Erik, welcome. ;)
Thanks,
Thomas
