Hi Guillem,
please rest assured that modifications to the Policy must not cause large
amounts of work to the developers. The Policy follows current practice and
does not change it. I also would like the Policy to be a useful reference for
all developers, who may wonder about the function of a given field in a given
control file, which is why I have been pushing for a more extensive coverage.
Have a nice day,
