What punishment to invoke is a separate matter from the policy - yes. But we
need to establish the policy first before we can punish people for violating
it. There are now 30 in favor and 8 against the rule = 79% in favor. Assuming
nobody votes against it, we still need two more votes in favor of the rule to
reach 80%.  

But a policy without teeth is a bit useless. I agree.
