I'm against ratifying the Patent Titles automatically. It's our historical record and there's no harm in fixing using historical records when needed, and patent titles don't have follow-on effects. That said, it's been ratified about - I dunno - every other year manually. I think Aris's draft

Ah - gotcha. That makes sense. I don't begrudge the win, but you're right, retroactive is pretty much needed here to prevent massive breakages if the whole intent thing has been broken for a while. Retroactive fixes have been used many times when things have turned out to be broken, not just
