Yes. Someone decided to actually delete the people who had signed so far and replace it with a request for PGP signing - no. Not everyone even uses PGP, which is overkill for this anyway.

I'm going to roll the document back and lock it. Sorry, I had hoped people would respect my request to not fiddle with the content, which they did not do.

If you'd like to have your name on it, let me know or post here and I'll add it.

Ah, this is not entirely in sync with the last (mostly minor)
copyedits that had been signed off by Gavin, Pieter, Jgarzik, and I...
but that appears to be a smaller issue than the fact that the whole
thing is now being rewritten by "anonymous beaver" and friends.
