No more so than if the Clock was restarted, say, tomorrow, with only one nday left before proposals were closed and the ballot was due.  At least two proposals that would be on the ballot have to do with the DimShip scam, and another two with the Gnome scam.

What I'm saying is, let's pretend nothing other than your Win actually happened this nweek, and let's start over.  Your Win wasn't dependent on anything else that happened, so nothing else has to have.  Those proposals we still want we can resubmit.  Those CFIs we still think are relevant we can resubmit and re-evaluate.

If we start with nweek 18, all our activity will be -1 because none of us will have voted, plus we'll have to work out which of the end-of-nweek events would have happened and which didn't.  I personally think a rollback will be cleaner than a rollforward.
