Let me see if I read you right, Pierre. Effectively, you're saying that
imposing a blanket bylaws system should help to prevent some rare cases of
established projects going off the handle? Is this a correct representation of

I am not as eloquent as you're in painting the picture of the law-less land,
thus please accept my apologies in advance if I came to the wrong conclusions.

With best regards,
