Well, let's not exaggerate. The policy in question was proposed Dec 29th. It was duly seconded and no one raised any objections. Per the policy submission guidelines it became an accepted amendment on January 12th, if I understand them correctly. I know people have been been busy with other things, but the only reason this ISN'T in the policy manual is because no one's had time to make a new release of the policy manual. I think treating the proposal as policy is duly warranted. -- G.
