You in particular have been complaining about discretion in the CSW
process.  If you don't like a rule don't make it.  I do hope those that
drove the democratic decision actually understood the issues, else, in
the best tradition of referenda, we'd better try again until we get the
right answer.

I'm completely at ease with not supporting NFS, but don't pretend it's
supported when we have policies that contradict it.
