Well,  that's not really a great example since that's fixing a broken
proposal where as your suggestion substantively changes the ruleset
in, admittedly, ways my proposal should have done.

But ok, I revise this proposal to read:

"Bring Back Tweaks":

{{
/*Hose is a coauthor of this proposal, not that this had any effect
whatsoever */

Create a new rule entitled "Tweaks" with the following text:
{{
A Tweak is a Game Document describing changes to be made to the rules
and/or game state of B Nomic.  A Player may submit a single Tweak per
nweek.  A submitted Tweak cannot be revised after it has been
submitted.

As a Game Action without Objection, a Player can Activate a Tweak he
submitted during the current or previous nweek, provided he has not
previously attempted to Activate the same Tweak.  When a Tweak is
Activated, the changes it describes take effect.
}}

In Rule 4E15, remove the section entitled "Hurrying Votes"

Amend Rule 69 by replacing the text:
{{
There exists an Attribute called "Proposal Color" with a Scope of all
Pending, Hurried, or Open Proposals
}}
with
{{
There exists an Attribute called "Proposal Color" with a Scope of all
Pending or Open Proposals
}}
and by replacing
{{
A Player may, as a Game Action, change the Proposal Color of a Pending or
Hurried Proposal to a value of his choice.
with
{{
A Player may, as a Game Action, change the Proposal Color of a Pending
Proposal to a value of his choice.
}}

Amend Rule 15 by replacing the following text:
{{
Status (Range: Pending, Hurried, Open, Historical; Default: Pending)
}}
with
{{
Status (Range: Pending, Open, Historical; Default: Pending)
}}
and by replacing:
{{
As a Game Action a Player may withdraw a proposal with status Pending or
Hurried if they are the Author of that Proposal.
}}
with
{{
As a Game Action a Player may withdraw a proposal with a status of Pending
if they are the Author of that Proposal.
}}
and by replacing:
{{
At the beginning of each Voting Period, all Pending and Hurried proposals
become Open.
}}
with
{{
At the beginning of each Voting Period, all Pending proposals become Open.
}}
}}
