My understanding is the vote happened on 3/15. This was just before I
joined the board so I don't know the results.

Right now I would agree with Josh that adding it as an unofficial event
doesn't make much sense because it complicates the process of adjusting the
rules. I'm building one now, and I plan to fly it tomorrow so I'll have
firsthand knowledge of the event in case it comes up for a vote again.
