I'll take this suggestion as a cynic suggestions and ignore it for now

</I>
I do understand both your pov, and i do remember that discussion.
IMHO: good strict policies are good, and exceptions are exceptions.
but we should also try to prevent irritation if it's possible... we're short
on contributors and I don't like to decrease motivation... I guess that makes
me more lax than others.
