There is common courtesy where we inform Bruce (Hey Bruce: we
changed the DFSG), and then there is the requiring approval thing. I
have no objection to the former, I do to the latter.

Quite so. But just because something is a bad idea does not
mean one is not empowered to do so. If some one were to try and
change the DFSG, I would oppose it, until shown very good reason to
change the DFSG (and I can't imagine what those could be), but I
still defend the right of the project to actually change what we
define as free if we all so choose.
