The GR about DMs[1] did set technical policy in so far as it prescribed technical details of the initial implementation, including for example the "DM-Upload-Allowed: yes" field. However it implicitly allowed changing the details later without a GR by just setting "inital policy". Maybe something similar could be done here?
