My patch isn't making any promises; in a nutshell, it says "must use
constraints", which is the most tight specification and doesn't open
any new doors (in contrast with the position that you were arguing,
which would be a new promise).

Did the other changes in patch 1 look fine to you, content-wise?

Thanks.
