It isn't stronger than I intended.
We can make exceptions, if appropriate, and we have. Sometimes the new
contribution is really great, and the regression is really minor. But
that's for the community and/or SC to decide, not an individual
contributor.
We've also had this debate (we collectively, and you and I personally)
about three separate times. I'm not interested in having it again.
