I can't argue with that!  :-)

Yup.  That would be you.

But since you seem to be the only person who wants the Big Squashed
Flat context set, you would be the ideal maintenance agency!

Seriously, behind the unnecessarily snide stabs, there is an important
point: we designed not only CQL but the maintenance procedures and
culture that surround it precisely in order to give people autonomy to
do this kind of thing -- where by "this kind of thing", I mean things
that the core committee disapproves of, but that someone somewhere
really wants for good and adequate reasons of their own.
