So are you saying AGF (a subpolicy of CIVIL, (predecessor too, actually))
is out the window too?
Not out the window, no, though perhaps standing uncomfortably
close to it. (I said "the harder it is to", not "it's now
impossible to".)
I'd love it if we could hang onto WP:AGF, WP:BOLD, WP:IAR, and
the rest forever. But we'll be different from every large
society the world has ever known if we can manage that.
