Sure, but what would you suggest as an alternative Ron? Would you prefer
that the policy be unchangeable, so that project content can never be forced
to conform to changed/improved/new policies? There is a whole world of
content out there that violates some policy or other, and in many cases it
predates the policy - advocating grandfathering policy-violating content
would seem to be the wrong way forward.
So I admit its irritating, but there doesn't seem to be a better
alternative. If you'd prefer that the policy went back to its original form,
that is I suppose a valid opinion that simply lacks consensus or approval
from WMF.
