Agreed. I'm not prepared to try to argue the definition of "policy" |
| 12 |
further here, so I'll yield the point. If others find value in the |
| 13 |
point, they'll take it up. If not, well it must not have been that |
| 14 |
important to other than you and me after all. =8^) |

In any case, two things of value came of it. For Gentoo, it provoked the |
| 17 |
super-majority idea, which may or may not resonate enough to take root but |
| 18 |
I think it's worth debating, anyway. For myself, I became aware of a |
| 19 |
word interpretation inconsistency I wasn't aware of, thus gaining insight |
| 20 |
into myself. Maybe it's me that's out of sync. =8^) |
