I strongly believe in your and Margaret's integrity and good intentions. 
The problem is not that.

This rule may outlast many's presence in IETF, including mine, yours, or 
Margaret's.

A rule like yours, applied by good people could be a good rule.

The same rule applied by bad people can be a very bad rule.

For this rule, I know well. For others, I may not know.

Therefore, it is for all of us to strive to create and adopt rules that 
cannot be bad in bad people's hands.
