Yes.  We're now quite large and have maintainers with very wide levels
of abilities.  Unfortunately we can't always rely on maintainer's
making reasonable decisions.

I guess we need a meta-policy to describe how to handle policy
exceptions and errors. [1]

[1] No, there won't be a meta-meta-policy, etc..  If you find an error
or desire an exception in the meta-policy, we shoot you. :)
