Otherwise there are people who follow the rules and are disgruntled that other people are able to get away with not following them. One aspect of policy should be to give people an understanding of how to coexist with one another. If the rules don't apply equally (even if that means "The rules apply to those who feel the need to follow them and don't apply to those who do not feel the need to do so") then the common understanding is broken. Getting the policy updated so that people know that there are cases where you can +1 your own update is a better way to build community than just letting people who feel okay about doing so circumvent the policy when they see fit. -Toshio
