I think removing anything from MPI-1 (I assume this is what was meant)
is a motion. It would take 60% majority to pass a motion. Thus, you
cannot delete text from MPI-1 without a 60% majority.

P.S. - I assume this is not going to happen since we have already
decided not to break any MPI-1 programs.
