FWIW,
every single motion that the TB makes is a suggestion to Randy that something about FT be changed/improved. TB is an advisory council, not a policy-making body.
The wording of this motion was carefully chosen so as to make it perfectly clear to all posters that this is the case and not create any unwarranted expectations one way or the other. After all, if this motion had said "OMNI posts shall count...," and was passed by the TB it would have put Randy into the uncomfortable position of having to act totally against the TB's advice if that was his will.
So the wording of the motion was meant to:
1) Set realistic expectations,
2) Be as respectful of Randy as possible and
3) It was also crafted, as J-M notes, to put TB members on the record with regard to Randy's decision (since we never got that opportunity BEFORE he made the change) so that posters can know where their TB members stand on this issue without wading through 600 posts on the subject.
