When you create a ham sandwich, it used to be a few slices of bread, a
slab of meat, and assorted other ingredients.

When you create a rule, it used to be a bunch of text characters in a
proposal.

Except for this supposed rule, which used to be a Charter. Turning it
into a rule would be creating a rule the same way that the usual method
is creating a rule. So this rule doesn't exist, as it would have had to
be created first, which is illegal.

I agree with Orc on the rest. Therefore, nobody wins.
