Gratuitous: in the unlikely event that a proposal that would ossify/end Agora does end up being voted FOR, I would prefer the Assessor to not resolve it. If resolving it were illegal, this would give em a good excuse to violate the rules requiring em to resolve it. (For example, if we catch that a proposal has an ossifying effect at some point after the voting period closes, the Assessor delaying the resolution would likely be a necessary step in fixing the situation, buying time to, e.g., pass a proposal to proactively negate the ossifying proposal's effects.) Something similar has happened in other nomics: Wooble once "forfeited" (effectively, deregistered from) B in order to avoid having to resolve a proposal that would end the game. (It was eventually discovered that due to some brokenness earlier, the proposal in question had never existed, although B was dead anyway at that point.) -- ais523
