Not intentionally.  You had quoted the two together, which seemed to
intimate that written together they had some kind of larger
significance.  Anyway, isn't the important thing that the unofficial
nature is made clear, which I think I've achieved?  I'm open to
concrete alternative wording though, I just don't want to spend a lot
of time trying to address vague critiques.

I think its better to have the informative stuff up front so people
actually understand what the discussion is actually about.  Starting
with a disclaimer is just ugly.  If there is confusion, which won't
necessarily a bad thing anyway, then that paragraph can simply be
pointed out.

His advice is that I not do anything until discussion is resolved.
The discussion here is actually sufficiently resolved, so I'm ready to
go.  Please let me try this, and we'll see where things go.  Let the
virtues of meritocracy shine through.

Best wishes,
Mike
