By that logic, _any_ change to any rule involving, say, the IESG (repeat for
all other I* bodies) - e.g. changing its powers, etc - can't come into play
until between 1 and 2 years have passed, so that all existing seated members
will have been replaced/reseated.
Otherwise you'll be changing the powers/etc that they had when they were
seated - i.e. retroactive changes to their powers/etc.
