There is a distinction. I'd assert that we only promote confusion with this dissonance. If the DMUP is only meant as a document to bind the "bad kids" in our ranks, then we shouldn't ask all new developers to adide by it. If the DMUP is meant to apply to all developers, it should not attempt to tell responsible adults not to do reasonable things. -- G.
