It's a requirement we *already* consciously dropped when we approved the
new projects requirements. Or do you mean you want to come back on that
decision[1]?

We can refine those rules as we go and consider applications and realize
the rules are incomplete... But denying their existence and ask to
freeze until they are defined sounds a bit weird. The rules are there.
Slow consideration of additions is the way to make iterative progress,
not freezing.
