I hope I'm not throwing down a glove here.

There has been a lot of posturing about having various FOSS bits 
conforming to various policies.
For the most part, there are good points on either side.

However, I want to assert two things:

   1)   There is *no* justification for exceptions to the security policy.

   2)   There are precedents for many policies, such as those associated 
with the CLIP/getopt stuff.
         If we aren't going to conform to those policies here, because 
we think we have a better policy
         or a formal exception set we need to officially state the 
amendment to the policy.
