Ah, crud, you’re right. Rule 2166: > An indestructible asset is one defined as such by it backing document, and > CANNOT be destroyed except by a rule specifically addressing the destruction > of indestructible assets or that asset in particular. Moving that clause to that position was meant to end-run the question of whether existing pledges convert. However, the way I judged CFJ 3559 probably implies that I can insert a clause to the effect of “No clause of this proposal CAN create pledges implicitly” and have that work the way I want, instead. I could also create a transient rule at the start of the proposal, and repeal it at the end, but that feels like an extreme solution. -o
