While I don't want to do anything to impede this fix, I feel compelled to
point out that any proposed changes to the voting RFC have to be voted upon
before they can go into effect.  I think not setting a bad precedent is
worth the inconvenience of doing this by the book.

That said, my vote would be yes.  But we shouldn't be doing an end-run
around the voting process simply because the change is relatively minor;
not when the change is to the voting process itself, at least.
