for precisely the same reason. I have no issues with writing it down somewhere, but this would also remove the meta condition.

Yes, a meta condition that a majority of your players were in favour of removing.

I didn’t want to leap in and replace it with a new victory condition, because my ability to write a popular and watertight victory condition is unrelated to whether or not eleven people want to build a game on top of a “if somebody makes a particular mistake, the game ends” detonator. I don’t see any harm in repealing this and adding a victory condition a little later.
