I support this.

On reading the judgement, I'm quite amused, but left a bit dissatisfied.
In particular, I don't see how this is different than other contract
clauses that "affirm consent" via an elongated process (e.g. with Notice
or whatnot).  The main difference is the final trigger is the passage of a
deadline.  But that deadline is also public information.  If a public
clause read "If noone objects to a change within X, it automatically takes
effect", it's not clear to me that this would be blocked, as all the
information is publicly available even if the deadline passes silently.

Gratuitous: the "OPEN" / "CLOSED" example works because it changes only
contract-defined gamestate, not something tracked by the rules of Agora
themselves. It could easily be interpreted as a shorthand definition:
"This contract is OPEN" means "The date is before July 1".

Changing officer-tracked information is much more difficult.

I motion to reconsider. The "A public message, after all, is evaluated only
once, and does not continue taking effect thereafter" thing seems weird to
me, considering that we can do deadlines for things. Or maybe deadlines
just don't work at all! Which would be amusing as well.

For example "This contract is OPEN before July 1, and CLOSED after it."

It would be weird that such a contract would be OPEN forever, but that is
what this Judgement seems to imply, that mechanisms "in the background"
can't happen, because they're not being evaluated by a message. That, or
the reproduction still works, and my CfJ referring to these reproducing
contracts did set this Schröninger's Box to the state it was written to be
in.
