Which is enough reason to vote no for this proposal.

When someone votes no, then the yes votes require an even greater number
of yes votes. This can be very tough on a 'group with a finite
following. If the vote doesn't meet (and I'm blanking on the actual
percentage but it's huge) the hierarchy's requirement, the proposed
'group doesn't get the necessary permissions. But... People have to
vote. (Even abstaining is a strike against the formation of a new
'group.)
