I think "will the person who objects to my work the most be able to find a 
fault with my fix?" in the policy on obviousness is clear enough.  A 
policy decision on what is or is not part of a language extension can't be 
obvious, and nor can determining subtle questions of exactly what the 
definition of some internal interface is or should be.
