this looks very good to me now! The paragraph posed problems since we tried
to define a consistent policy, and our current practice is somewhat ad-hoc,
with a few exceptions when there are good reasons. I think your text captures
the spirit better, and allows for concrete policies to potentially be defined
elsewhere.

Thanks for working on the document, personally I am happy with it now.
