So disable the anti-circumvention clause first. Actually, one could argue
the circumvention part means nothing - a proposal doesn't actively try to do
anything. A proposal is a list of requested changes, which are implemented
by either the Voting rule or by Dave, depending on how you look at it. Rules
are certainly allowed to circumvent other rules; so's Dave.
