That's what I was asking, thanks. Um, part of why the idea was to add it
to policy was that we already have a way to do that for the policy.
Would you object to having changes in the meantime handled in the same

those real easily) until it's actually ready to go into policy? Or
possibly a simplification of that process at least?
