Care to point out the latter?

If I were to say that I'm beginning to think you must have a very skewed 
definition of "personal attack", would that count as a "personal attack" ;)?

I raised the concern that any change in contributor terms would be next 
to unworkable because one would have to ask everyone AGAIN to agree to 
the new terms. As long as this question is unresolved, working towards 
any change in the CTs would probably be considered moot by many.

So before we discuss if better CTs are possible and how they would look 
like, we should determine what flexibility we have, if any.

Bye
Frederik
