We should codify against this somewhere. AFAIK, it's still an unwritten
rule. But this is the second time a discussion about a significant change
has been closed by someone who voted for it (the first being flagged
revisions). The first time could be seen as Jimbo's prerogative, but
SilkTork, AFAIK, doesn't have a similar power. It's indicative of a problem
regarding process.
I should point out I find it funny that the discussion partially about
closing AfDs early got closed early itself. Twelve days is a weird number;
RfCs themselves tend to go on two to four weeks. Hopefully, though, SNOW
should still be accepted, if its users use it diligently; not willy-nilly.

Oh, and discussion closed by someone who participated.
Just as an aside.

Wow. Where was this advertised? I missed it.
AdD really does seem a law unto itself. Is 45 people supporting this
change really enough?
The same can be asked for any proposed policy change. Considering the
current size of the project I don't think it's possible to involve
enough of the community in any such discussion no matter how it's
announced. Remember the spoiler thing a few years ago? Most editors
had no clue about the change until spoiler tags were being mass AWBed
out of articles.
Pointers on AN? The policies part of the village pump?
If it was there and I missed it, my bad. If there wasn't anything
there...
