In “Voting”, replace
If there is no Announcer, or the Vote is made by the proposal’s author on their own proposal and the Announcer does not Vote on it, a Vote of DEFERENTIAL counts as an explicit Vote of abstention, and has no effect except possibly to void earlier voting icons by that voter on that proposal.

Initially I went nuts replacing “Proposal” with “Proposal but not a core proposal”. Then I realized that explicitly disallowing the Announcer from VETOing Core Proposals is sufficient.
. The ability to veto a core proposal when a game-breaking flaw is discovered is an important safety feature.
