The real problem I have here is that application processing _appears_ to
have stopped; I hear rumors that it's stopped until Potato is out; no one
in the know has confirmed or denied those rumors, merely saying there has
not been any announcement. A single message like
We are still processing applications. If you apply, the quickest you will
get accepted is 5 weeks.
or better yet

Something that has the effect of policy without the legal backing? Sure it
could exist. If they have stopped processing applications until Potato is

policy or not - it has the same effect.
