Something like that was the pragmatical solution I intended to go for
when I asked for a constructive approach.
But the more common opinion here seems to be to act according to the
current by-laws instead of attempting to reform them.

In the past I had the impression that pragmatism was more important
than the by-laws. But I suppose people have changed; after all some
are starting to compare TU-ship with a professional job.

The bottom line for me is currently: if I'm left alone to contribute
in the form I have done it over the past few months, I'd be very happy.
If not, I'll -- granted, reluctantly -- take my hat and give up
TU-ship.
