[NSRCA-dist7] 12s Packs Rules Proposals

[Bill Wallace]

I would say go for it.  The pro’s make sense, and the con’s only apply if the rule makes changing mandatory - which it doesn’t.  So if you don’t want to switch, you don’t have to.  But if you want to try it, it would be nice to have the opportunity.
