When there is consensus, and the practice follows the consensus,
then we write it into policy. Just a bunch of us munchkins agreeing on
a mailing list somewhere (consensus) is not, in my opinion, enough:
existing practice must shift. There are exceptions to this policy
change rule, but I have not, sofar, seen any compelling arguments to
warrant departing from the "policy defines existing standard behaviour"
rule so far.
