When I think about this topic, I definitely consider myself more likely to unwittingly (I hope!) engage in some kind of bad behavior that would result in censure than being the subject of such bad behavior.   However, I would _much_ rather be taken aside and have that pointed out to me than continue it or "get away" with it.

Indeed not. A BCP is an RFC, which means we can comment on it and amend it
if the running code has failure modes. I'd suggest one more spin following
the recent comments, which will probably just tune up a few words, one quick
check of those changes by counsel, and ship it.

We do need this done. I was quite shocked to discover that, but there it is,
so let's do it now.
