It would be inconvenient if people don't use the wiki or some other form where the evolution of the proposal can be inspected using diffs. Close reading of proposal text is costly; serious flaws can hide in small crevices. We don't want those weighing a proposal to have to perform careful review a second time for the VOTE thread. However, until there's an actual problem with people not using the wiki, we don't want to put ourselves in a position where we say "you MUST use the wiki" and then ignore our own rules and accept a proposal anyway. > We should always be thinking less rules, less process, less roles. +1 Rules which are byzantine and opaque are hard to follow and hard to enforce. Cumbersome regulation favors the establishment, and we want to foster innovation by newcomers.
