IMO, Jimbo isn't needed to sanction all policies. Most are developed by
consensus on Wikipedia itself.

There does seem to be very wide general support for this 'rule to consider'.
See:

So far there are 27 people supporting this rule and 8 against. That comes to
~77% in favor of the rule by my calculation. For polling purposes, we consider
80% to be consensus and thus binding, no?

Thus all we may need to make this policy is a vote or two more in favor of the
rule.

I encourage everybody to consider this issue and vote their conscience.
