Well, I did include in the proposal the following language:

But it now occurs to me -- it appears (unless something is amiss
with the website) that 572 ("if we sqeeze up a bit we can all fit
in") did *not* in fact pass.  Therefore this proposal ought to
have deleted itself on the non-passage of 572.

So what happens to the votes, negative or otherwise, or the 
points that would have been won or lost, on a proposal that, 
according to its own terms, deleted itself?
