I get that, but it doesn't make enough of a difference, in my opinion.

I like little steps, less likely to fall over :)
If we are going to apply social pressure to change anything, it should
be to eradicate the tendency to marry before voting ...
The wiki is exclusive, the vast majority of the community who are free
to come and argue their case, don't even have the ability to edit the wiki.
Talking about doing an argument justice, by allowing a select few to
edit the work of others, doesn't make sense to me.
When opcache was merged it was ignored by every RFC, even though it's
very difficult to do anything in /Zend without impacting opcache.
All it took to get people to consider the impact was adding the section
late one night (I done it). Nobody ever bothers to remove that section, and
if they are able, they fill it in (or are told how to fill it in).
The objectives seem to be fulfilled by just adding the section into the
template, and formally requiring that it be maintained during discussion.
Cheers
Joe
