Maybe we should file a bug that these files be removed.

I haven't closely followed all non-editorial changes. I remember that
Manoj did retitle some bugs, using some of the tags described in the
policy-process. There were also some changes that might have been
decided long ago. And as I said previously, people sent "seconded"
mails and counted seconders.
I simply don't know how policy changes are supposed to happen
currently. It would be nice if that could be clarified.
Regards, Frank
