Erm, no it's not. The current text reads:
A player who is not a person and has never been a first-class
person CAN be deregistered by any player by announcement.
Someone who is sleeping may not be a person, but they have certainly been both
a person and a first-class person at some point, so there's nothing wrong with
loosening the requirements to:
A player who is not a person and has never been a person CAN be
deregistered by any player by announcement.
if that's the only thing you're concerned about. Also, see the language of 2150.
