Interesting question. I'd say it does have the potential to break things, but that it's a known feature. i.e. if we put something broken in a Rule via a proposal, then we'd have to say "it's our fault, we shouldn't have voted for it." It's really the same (only) protection against bad proposal

It occurs to me that (thinking back over a couple years), several registration errors have been ratified, and given that this kicks people out of the game, it's a fairly big error that can lead to anger. Also changes in registration are infrequent enough that a weekly reset isn't needed, it's n
