I was going to reply to Defense Against the Dark Arts about this but I figure that it merits its own thread.
In R1698 we got: "Agora is ossified if it is IMPOSSIBLE for any reasonable combination of actions by players to cause arbitrary rule changes to be made and/or arbitrary proposals to be adopted within a four-week period." The problem is, a proposal that ossifies Agora is within the set of "arbitrary proposals". If you can't arbitrarily make a proposal that ossifies Agora, you can't make arbitrary proposals. Something ARBITRARY is an immense space, and if you don't have the whole space, it's not technically arbitrary anymore. So, we're currently ossified as far as I understand, because we can't have proposals ossify Agora - and we have been ossified ever since R1698 has popped into existence as it is, we just started with it with our status as ossified from its start. However, once ossified, nothing really happens. The only problem is make Agora BECOME ossified, from a state of being not-ossified. We should probably amend "arbitrary proposals" to "arbitrary proposals excluding those that would ossify Agora" or something to fix this.
