For the "editorial changes" GR, I didn't have the time to follow the entire flamewar and voted in belief that the changes were indeed editorial because I believed in the text in the CfV. I was horror-stricken after the GR passed and people said what we had indeed voted for. I have a sincere distrust for CfVs since then since I feel badly misled.
