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.
