This "experiment" needed to be concluded by someone and it seems that
the board haven't taken any steps in this direction. Two options when
it comes to concluding this experiment are declaring it a success and
making it permanent or declaring it failure and ending the ban. Since
the motivation for the trial was PR and since the ban has probably
done more net harm than good, I welcome Gregory Maxwell's initiative.
