Both sides have something in their favour; you are right in the short term, Gary is right in the longer term. [IMO] Wouldn't the project benefit from a common policy on how to deal with such issues (rather than be divisive, once more)? [I'd go even further that, by not delving into the crux (no policy) of this kind of issues, we create "opportunities" for infighting, based on who is more legitimate (so-called "meritocratic") to make changes or revert them. In that respect, both sides have again something in their favour.] I've proposed (and have done so more than twice in the past) to examine a way out (i.e. define an official hierarchy among the "Commons" components), but you both have ignored it.
