The proposal has been accepted (not yet implemented):
ok, I'll add it to my to-do list and we'll see if it causes any problems
As to me, it looks more like a polite refusal than actual acceptance. In any case, we have only to wait and see now what will come out of your proposal at the end of the day. Personally, I'm very skeptical and suspicious of these poorly concealed attempts at grabbing more power across the forum, at first through such "interest checks" and then by kicking up a racket about "elections" of a new global moderator...
But maybe it is just me, after all
