r155 can be gotten around with a little bit of work; the only thing 
that makes it at all powerful is that fact that Dave can judge any 
workaround illegal. If we're doing away with Dave, this rule has no 
power.

r214 technically has no power anyway - Dave can choose to take the 
Clock of the website at any time, regardless of what the rules say. 
Also, it's often not followed: the clock turns off all the time without 
the website changing to reflect that.

I included doing away with r216 because I can't recall the last time 
somebody used that, and it seems to be an obvious enough way of using 
the delimiters that I don't think we need to explicitly state it.

I agree.

I added it because it's on the list of "Grid" rules we don't need 
anymore, but I can take it off the list if you think we'll ever use it.

Oops. Thought I included that.

Though I must admit that most of my favorite proposals thus far have 
been prose props; it would be a shame to see them go.

I hope to extensively rewrite 578 soon; Ministries are useful enough 
that I don't think we should repeal them (though some time this weekend 
I will try to add a clause in my prop to remove the unneeded 
Ministries)

Ok.

Revised prop will be published tonight.
