No, Policy must directives are things package must comply
with, or they are thrown out of the release (unless release managers
offer dispensation).
However, policy _changes_ tend to be conservative, and policy is
not where you do design and tinkering. So new stuff needs to be
tested, and deployed, and _then_ policy changes. Policy also does not
tend to change rapidly and make gazillions of packages instantly
buggy.
