"::::The three options on which we are !voting have not changed at all. Mies made an objection to my ""brief, neutral statement"" before the three options are listed, and I decided to incorporate his suggested text, leaving mine as struck-out. I think both versions are about as neutral as each other, but there are two reasons why I went with Mies' wording.
 The actual options for the lede sentence upon which we are !voting have not changed, and
 I don't want Mies to complain after the fact that the wording was skewed. Very little happens in this particular little corner of Wikipedia without either Mies' approval or anguished and dogged resistance. I would like him to feel that the process is as open and transparent as possible. Sentence options 1 and 2 are those which emerged from a far longer list as being the binary choices, and option 3 is Mies' own wording, which I think is an excellent compromise.
I guess, after this RfC is closed, we can argue about the effect of changing the brief, neutral wording mid-stream, and maybe those on the losing side can call for another one, but there is another option available to all who have already !voted - simply reëvaluate your original !vote and modify it if you think modification is needed.
