This issue is unique and does not represent a blanket policy. Any request to modify the archive is a serious issue that requires consultation with the Steering Committee and must be balanced against the loss of archive integrity.
Right here is the heart of the matter. This is a unique issue. Attempts to set policies to cover unique issues _will_ result in bad policies.
Policies should be set to cover the general cases. Management prerogative (which should be bounded by policy) will best deal with the unique issues.
