You're right. There's no way at all to inform someone of a change in |
| 13 |
policy besides filing a bug and letting things sit in the tree for days, |
| 14 |
months, or even years before they get fixed. |

Personally, I'd prefer we fix the stuff and simply inform the |
| 17 |
maintainers, rather than force them to have to do the work as some form |
| 18 |
of punishment for not following policy close enough. ;] |
