spoon-discuss: Re: spoon-business: PROPOSAL self-repealers

[Greg Ritter <gritter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is already possible, as evidenced by the several self-repealing rules 
that have passed without CFJ, and thus is an unnecessary proposal.

No need to vote yest on this and give you 3 - 18 points for something that 
doesn't change anything.
