The edit has been approved by the community (at least on this list), and I would expect that the DWG does not take actions that go against the wish of the community, but still I think it would be better to obtain explicit permission. Especially given the fact that there are not much precedents for this type of mechanical edit, I think it is best to tread lightly. Technically, the DWG only has the power to roll back mechanical edits, not to approve them in advance. However, I think potential disapproval in advance would be preferable over an edit followed by a roll-back, which would only create additional workload and frustration on both sides. Of course, the DWG might not have enough time to look into it (which is quite understandable given that the DWG is run by volunteers and already has a rather high workload), or the DWG might not consider themselves qualified to answer this question. At this point, I have unfortunately no way to tell if either of these reasons apply.
