which is a nice summary. Wrt discord comment, I like to quarantine LexDAO as club from any common enterprise liability. I suggest 4 points to discuss:

1. Volunteers from LexDAO have provided these services (currently in beta testing) on a DIY self-help basis.
2. LexDAO warrants that this instance of Kali has passed tests [github] which should be a valid subset of normal DAO voting process.
3. LexDAO is not a law firm so suggest you retain a qualified professional if modifying the mutable parts of Constitution to fit
4. If there is any Failure Event (as defined in original Code Deference) then our obligation to you is either correcting the discrepancy between the Smart Contract and documented behaviour, or refund of 2x gas fees you paid upon deployment.

FailureEvent under the COALA agreement (simplified) is
“Failure Event” means a DAO encountering a technical bug or exploit which renders the DAO unoperational or fundamentally changes the expected operation of the DAO
