Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining, I guess I jumped to conclusions. I'm just so used to people assuming that changing things is quick and easy when there's actually a lot of legal wrangling.

I completely agree with you. Similar to how witnesses in court doesn't have to swear in on a bible, there should definitely be alternatives!
