Hi,

        I was under the impression that debian-devel-announce was for
 more weithier matters than whatever happens to sieze the policy
 groups fancy for the day ;-) (I know these are loaded words).

        Really, I think debian-devel-announce should be reserved for
 the constitutional general resolutions and larger issues; the policy
 amendment guidelines are for things we do not expect to be
 contentious, and there is no need to call in the troops. Even the
 debian-devel announcement is a courtesy. 

        If it needs a debian-devel-announce  announcement, it should
 be handled in a general resolution. The guidelines are fr the
 internal workings of the policy list; and the policy list should be
 able to handle the day-to-day affairs without needing to impinge on
 the general consciousness.

        This issue did not come up in the discussion we had on the
 proposal (note that the proposal followed its guidelines fairly
 well); so I though we all agreed. 

        However, I am willing to be persuaded.

 Actually, typing random strings in the Finder does the equivalent of
 filename completion. (Discussion in comp.os.linux.misc on the
 intuitiveness of commands: file completion vs. the Mac Finder.)
