I could also live with: c) Maintain the status quo. For this reason it would be difficult to give a good answer to whether I support, or even "can live with" the proposal. If it came down to it I would have to say "no" since the proposal contains the possibility of a change that I cannot live with. I don't think it makes sense to have a change proposal that talks about changing the definition of dd/dt without taking a definite position on what to do with elements that depend on the current definition. In general I think an individual change proposal should represent one complete and consistent change to the spec rather than requiring multiple sequential change proposals to be applied to get the spec into a consistent state.
