Oversights are the typical situation needing friendly amendment. Somebody overlooks a gotcha. Like I almost overlooked the interaction with public notice of "shall not pass" announcements with vote changing in this proposal.

Suppose you overlook an aspect and you need a revision to address that aspect. Everyone agrees with the revision. Why delay everything? The process should not create pointless work for no-brainer changes. Neither should the process be so rigid as to regularly require executive overrides. That's where we are now.
