[committee] [wheel] Removal (suspension) of Frekk from wheel

[John Hodge]

Under direction from a 4/7 majority of committee (4 voting for, 3 with 
no response) I have removed the `x` account from GID 512 and 
re-commented Felix's wheel key (the change was not yet pushed). I have 
NOT removed the account from the wheel@ mailing list, as this is still 
just a suspension.

I expect someone from comittee will be emailing with the official 
interrim decision soon, but the discussion on IRC/Discord was that 4/7 
of the committee voted to suspend Felix from wheel until the next 
comittee meeting for unethical behaviour.
