I also support this.

I second Owen’s comments. I don’t see the NRPM allowing this (nor disallowing 
it).

Seems unlikely as to why this can’t proceed as per above.

Doing nothing is still an action, and I also do not see a direction from the 
community for this action.

When there is some outspoken support and no opposition, it looks like consensus 
as well. For any proposal there will always be a number in the community that 
do not show either support or opposition. You can only count the votes made.

Still really wonder why #1 is so hard.

Support as written.

I would rather just see the current text advance. I just don’t see the need for 
more changes.
