"You must not place..." implies that you can, but if the boot-floppy
people are doing manual selection, I don't see how you can. I'd
strike that third paragraph completely. Unless it's aimed at the
boot-floppy people, and I'd hope that we'd grant them reasonable
discretion.
Or am I missing something here?
Anyway, aside from that, it looks like a good proposal.
