Does 3 here also apply to 2? I want any changes and bug fixes to be also
noted so we're not blamed for someone else fouling up. 2 seems to be
problematic to me in this regard. We might have to add a paragraph that
states that *any* modifications have to be made clear no matter what.

Does the above mean we'll have to come up with a formal language spec? Or
does this mean supplied subroutines have to be made in a way that when they
are removed the whole shebang works as before?
