I haven't followed all the nuances of this discussion, but it seems to boil down to use of "MUST NOT" when certain "EXCEPTIONS MAY" exist for private enterprise running legacy kit, which makes decision makers anxious, since they don't want responsibility for something they "MUST NOT" do: A solution might be to introduce "MUST NOT...EXCEPTIONS MAY" language, thereby allowing sectors to define their standards/principles/expectations.
