Very possible and feasible from my point of view.

That's one issue where I feel out of place - I see the constitution as a backup
when everything goes wrong. As long as we do things in the spirit of the
OpenSolaris community, with no strong objections to the contrary, I'd be more
than happy to 'bend' what's officially written in the constitution. I suspect
I'll be the minority on this view, but I think it's important that we don't
continually look to the constitution as a way of governing our communities - the
people do that instead.
