if policy describes f.e. tag name convention and our tools create
correct configuration out of the box, then there's no need to mention it
on the wiki so yes, I agree with what you said. I don't even mind to
list only few things in policy now and extend it later, once we figure
out whats best for us (and work on wiki only for now), but at some point
I want a set of rules (a "standard"!) that will make my life as sponsor
easier and this is F*****G important for me. I will leave this team the
moment I have to read README.sources each day when I sponsor a package.
If you want help from me, make it easier for me to review your work.

(most of RFS emails I get contain "RFS: DPMT: foo version" subject and
nothing else, it works for me, I'm lazy and I prefer to read
non-technical books rather than RFS mails :P)
