The version of the miakibot that follows the "French FAQ on legitimate
cancels" is useful.

But the author of the miakibot decided to go further in the cancels
and to pass in force and without any consensus of the hierarchy fr.*
So he created the miakibot2 and miakibot3 for these abusive cancels.

The ideal would be to allow the cancels of the miakibot
and to prohibit the cancels of the miakibot2 and miakibot3.

If however he commits himself not to use the miakibot anymore to make
abusive cancellations (3600 cancellations last year with the miakibot,
I can provide you the list of mids if you want to see)
