to unprotect those pages and add such a notice, asking
people not to change policies without discussing the
changes first. That would allow people to make
non-policy changes, and eliminate the sense of being
able to change the way things are done.

So long as a boilerplate stating what both you and I said is at the top of
each main policy page listed under the heading "Generally accepted policies"
at
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines (not rules
to consider) AND so long as we can get at least several old hands to watch
each of these pages then this should work. We can alway re-protect later if
need be.
I just don't have time to formulate a finalized boilerplate and apply it
myself. But you are more than welcome to do so without further protest from
me. List consensus on this should first be obtained though.
