I think someone with a conflict of interest should definitely
participate in the discussion. It would be silly for Helix not to
participate in a discussion about including Evolution. I'm just not
sure they should vote, if it comes down to a vote.

If we want to say that the rule about no company having a majority
makes the problem go away, and everyone votes always, then we could do
that too.
