+I can't talk for that minority, of course. However, I can talk for myself:
+
+In such circumstances it is very possible that I'd agree to do something 
+to later find out I can't concentrate on the task no matter how hard I try.
+
+I regret it wasn't decided that the people who wanted unlimited edit 
+time should make the MOD, after which the unlimited edit time would be 
+implemented. They were going to get what they wanted (the unlimited edit 
+time), wouldn't that have "given them wings" to do that MOD?
