Though it could be argued, that the original takanah was made with the
assumption that it would be modified by whatever later decisions of the
rabbanut.  The Rabbanut was (and is) also a political body, and I'm sure the
original rabbanim realized that there might be a necessity to later modify
any decisions that they made.
