Making a strong and clear specific recommendation is helpful and it doesn't actuall impose on anyone, so it is often good to do. But maybe there should be a general policy too, which this would be an example of. I think the best way to develop a general policy in a new area is to work out answers for some specific cases. Then we can generalize from those. > because vague and specific are opposites - it loses cohesion to mix them They are complementary -- we need them both. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
