not really sure what you mean. The one thing that the PMC is required to do
is enforce all the legalities of stuff. This is legality thing that has to be
done. The PMC has to enforce regardless or not it is in the "rules" for
jakarta

I don't see it as an addition - merely documenting something that already is
implictly a rule. I never knew about this sort of thing until about 9 months
ago when a lawyer tried to explain it all to me (though failed at some parts
cause I had no idea what he was talking about).
Documenting it is good because then people who know not a lot about legalese
and friends don't have to think ;)
If it was an actualy change proposed it would have to go through the whole
propose, bitchslap, whine, vote, propose, whine, bitchslap, vote .... until
it got accepted (and ignored), agreed to or everyone thought the subjects was
dull and stopped participating ;)
