CONDITIONAL: if proposal 8259 has been, or would be if resolved at the same
time as 8257, resolved as ADOPTED, AGAINST. Otherwise, FOR. [my apologies to
the H. assessor]

ENDORSE the current ADoP, or FOR if there isn’t one or e doesn’t vote. [Thanks
for bringing that up, Aris. I don’t think the load would be too big—most of the
time, it should be nonexistent because we should still be patching rules to
properly track their switches. The office created by this rule is intentionally
imposed, so the only way for its holder to get rid of it is to fix the rule.
Even if we do have some of these switches lying around for a bit, it’ll at most
be an extra office or two to track, which doesn’t seem like much. That being
said, I’ve never been ADoP, so I’m leaving this up to em.]
