In this case yes. In other cases no.

You are trying to make some kind of sweeping generality based on a
specific case.

I'm sorry if you got that impression.

It's ok to approve a change that a majority of FESCo members feel is
acceptable. I can't speak to the thoughts of my fellow FESCo members in

Looking at the orig proposal vs the one that was approved shows they
changed the proposal?

It's ok for FESCo members to use their judgement in passing changes that
still have some objections. 

Anyhow, I have to get up super early to travel tomorrow, so I will leave
