Also, to answer your question, Topher, the proposal the community accepted had us reducing the number of bureaucrats to three. To increase the number of bureaucrats to six would require making a new proposal, and I don't think is necessary at this point. If you really can't go without bureaucrat rights, I can switch my spot on the list with yours, but I didn't think you would care, since you rarely use your crat rights at all.
