I don't think that "implied discretion" is a good idea long-term -
it's better to codify it in policy so that everything is consistent
and in the open. Apart from anything else, it's kind of inadvertantly
biting the newbies when stuff happens for reasons which aren't
explained.

I was implying that there has always been the implied discretion for admins to shoot on
sight certain types of pages. If you want this in wonkish, those tagging for speedies
should stay within the guidelines, but other things can be deleted by sure-footed admins.
