No, because as a guideline it is correct. This has been my point all
along. Policy is a guideline, which points to a preferred path of
development and proceedures. When those guidelines fail to produce the
desired results exception is taken and the "right thing" is done anyway.
If policy is not going to allow such exceptions then the concept of Policy
is broken.
Waiting is,
