(**
Only delegates with at least one roll take part in the amendment procedure.
It works as follows:
- Proposal period: delegates can submit protocol amendment proposals using
the proposal operation. At the end of a proposal period, the proposal with
most supporters is selected and we move to a testing_vote period.
If there are no proposals, or a tie between proposals, a new proposal
period starts.
- Testing_vote period: delegates can cast votes to test or not the winning
proposal using the ballot operation.
At the end of a testing_vote period if participation reaches the quorum
and the proposal has a supermajority in favor, we proceed to a testing
period. Otherwise we go back to a proposal period.
In any case, if there is enough participation the quorum is updated.
- Testing period: a test chain is forked for the lengh of the period.
At the end of a testing period we move to a promotion_vote period.
- Promotion_vote period: delegates can cast votes to promote or not the
tested proposal using the ballot operation.
At the end of a promotion_vote period if participation reaches the quorum
and the tested proposal has a supermajority in favor, it is activated as
the new protocol. Otherwise we go back to a proposal period.
In any case, if there is enough participation the quorum is updated.
