I don't like that, just adds bookkeeping for limited gain. There's no reason to give those who would make something undistributable a free day in which to act, tilts the balance too much. Frankly, the "make undistributable" can only delay and it's expensive to use, so I suspect it will be of rare use anyway (that's from past practice). Still, we can re-adjust the balance along with the new currency system when it comes along. -Goethe
