And it'll need regular pruning per [[m:instruction creep]] - it's a
very bad place to blur the distinction between the policy and the
guidelines on implementing that policy. The policy is simple and hard
to argue, but some people unfortunately appear to consider they can
weasel past it if they add enough rubbish to the guidelines. Not that
I've seen it repeatedly.
