In the post that I read, Kevin actually proposed several things such as
listening to arguments, taking into account community votes etc. What he
did not propose was setting up yet another rule. In fact it seems to be
much more a question of attitude: a process serving the rules, or rules
serving the process (of fostering the open Fedora community and distro).
