Re: [s-d] [s-b] Amended proposal "hard rules"

Good point.  I'll see if I can clear up the wording.

Please feel free to vote against.  I don't have any emotional capital

It's not really immutable rules, anyway.  As Peter pointed out that
isn't possible with this ruleset.  It's "less mutable rules".  And
really only then by consensus, I suspect.
