I quite like Chris' thoughts overall, but feel like adding them by modifying
my proposal a-priori and effectively unilaterally-albeit-via-consultation
would unfairly prejudice the parts I like over the parts I'm less keen on,
so I'm going to leave the bootstrap proposal as-is.

However I would note that having the voting system tweaked using the voting
system as one of the first uses of the voting system is absolutely something
that was supposed to be possible, and would strike me as a pretty decent
validation that the self-modifying approach can at least theoretically work.
