I agree with that, but it's a separate issue.

Long proposals aren't a result of Bandwidth Rationing, but a result of Rule 
19/4 which says "A proposal is a formal request for a set of Rule Changes 
or other changes."

We change that to singular -- (e.g. A proposal is a formal request for a 
Rule Change or other change) and we have no problem with lengthy legislation.

Repealing Bandwidth Rationing doesn't solve the problem of length 
legislation. That can only be done by changing Rule 19/4.

Who wants to spend that much time typing "NO" over and over???
