Yeah, as I commented on the review I wanted to get to a draft that was
complete enough and reflected the current thinking of the TC, before we
started a wider discussion on the ML. That said, we seem to only discuss
details at this stage, so it's probably time to start a wider discussion
on those.

I wanted to do one more patchset to take into account the latest round
of comments before starting the thread, but now is as good to start it
(yay, less work).

One thing to remember when reading this change is that it's meant to
document *existing* principles that we operate under but never
documented properly. It's not really about a new set of rules, or really
changing anything.

Please share your thoughts on the review or this thread !
