C'mon, it's frustrating that folks are now casting Marvin as an annoying "rule follower". For all votes here, you review a proposal/RC/committer candidate, you vote. And that vote is based on the state of the proposal as it were when you voted. That the proposal is immutable is a well-established social norm, certainly not news to you, Sanjiva, or anyone else... A voter should be able to vote and forget about it. They shouldn't need to constantly go back and look for changes since casting their vote. No one would, for example, allow this sort of nonsense in a release candidate vote. Debo didn't have things worked out in time, not a big deal; vote them in after the proposal succeeds, that's truly a trivial exercise for such a distinguished list of folks. Another option is to discount votes prior to the last mutation. Or, we add a wiki page that explains to new folks how the social norms can be overridden/bullied occasionally by headstrong, salty old-timers as they see fit...
