I remember it being indeed part of the discussion, and certainly that
concept if not those words.
This is the danger in "community knowledge" policy.
We have 20x as many users, several times as many admins, and most of
the admins now present weren't on-project when the Siegenthaller sr
issue happened (I arrived a couple of months later, for example).
It's gotta get written down.
Agreed. If policies are to be descriptive, BLP needs to be altered to fit
how it is being used. Implicit meaning alone isn't enough.
