Hi,
We have had success in the past with semi-formal sub policies
affecting subsets of packages. One of them has been the emacsen
mechanism. Other that come to mind are the kernel modules mechanism,
the kernel patch mechanism, and so on.
Initially, during the rapid deploy-test-amend phase, when the
mechanism is being shaped, it makes sense to keep the document with
the people who are doing the work. However, once the document has
stabilized, I think it makes sense to bring the document under ther
fold of this mailing list, so that
a) Policy documents are not scattered to the four winds,
b) the Packages affected by the sub policy are spared the whims and
vagaries of a lone developer ;-)
