Nope! I didn't mention a lot of things about my interpretation of this particular rule. I'm decently sure the PM can certify any patch because e's responsible for ensuring the game runs smoothly. It never occurred to me when drafting it that the Rulekeepor might have almost as broad a power, but having two offices that can certify almost everything is not a huge problem. That being said, it's possible this isn't the best approach. I'll start a new thread. -Aris
