We do ratifications of the SLR very occasionally (to clean up any potential long-standing ruleset mistakes), but a) by proposal, b) with a lot of checking of the ruleset to make sure there are no scams or game-breaking mistakes in it. (It strikes me that "the week after Read the Ruleset Week" would be a good time to do it.) We never ratify the FLR, because that would effectively ratify the history of the ruleset, not just the current version. (As it is, if we discover a ruleset mistake after an SLR ratification, we can mark the change into the history in the FLR, with a "by ratification" explaining how it happened.) -- ais523
