I prefer to keep away from such discussions until the air cleaned up a bit, but for the sake of the people who count votes here are my 0.02$: I think the policy should be strictly followed. Exceptions to and errors in the policy should be reported as a bug and properly included/fixed. The policy should include a rationale where the reason is not obvious. It should make clear what parts are required (must) and which are common practice (should). I prefer a must over a should. People should not be angry when policy is wrong for them, but they should happily work on the policy. The policy is not something that is forced on the developers by some "higher person", but something the developers force on *themselves*. You can only experience real freedom if you feel the border. In short, I agree with Manoj. Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
