I don't know if this kind of language works. “Repeal this rule” sounds
like a command, not a statement. Perhaps it would be better to state
“Once e does so, this rule is repealed.” Similarly, the “timely manner”
requirement doesn't seem to specify a starting time (e.g., “after such
and such event”). I'd advise you to include something to the effect of
“after the creation of this rule”.

I hope this doesn't work, or we'll have untrackable and ethereal
ontology-destabilizing floating obligations.

R106 states:

> proposal can neither delay nor extend its own effect

and

> a proposal's effect is instantaneous

This raised the question: is the effect of 4st's proposal indefinetly
extended? If so, does R106 preclude it from happening, or simply cuts it
short? Or even: its effect is instant; viz., the creation of the
obligation. I don't see anything in the rules to decide these two
dichotomies.
