IIRC proposals are instruments with power, and that power is never revoked. Unfortunately, I don’t think a temporary rule would do the trick—unless we ratified the history of the PAoaM rules (something I’d rather not do), every future FLR might be technically “incorrect” unless we figured out the ruleset actually looked like after PAoaM got enacted. The rule allowing the FLR to be “wrong” would need to stick around at least until we got rid of PAoaM, which would be annoying. I guess having a long-lived proposal effect isn’t actually any better than having a rule, but at least we don’t need to keep a record of it? I’m not sure about the best course of action here.
