        Hmm. In that case, I'd prefer a paraphrase of your one
 sentence description -- "policy should not make changes that
 contradict currrent policy withiout allowing for a transition period,

 it was easier for me)

        I agree that we do need some policy regarding major changes to
 policy (one that affect large numbers of packages).
