At the moment, no, I do not have a brilliant idea.


Short term/for testing purposes, I would just add a comment in the
excuses and then leave the aging as it is.

I think we would prefer modifying the age-requirement over urgency
fiddling.  Among other because changing the urgency is "exclusive" so we
cannot have multiple policies altering the aging in that case.

But I do not really have a good way of doing it atm. (either way)
