<DIV class=gmail_extra>Trent, let's be a bit more civil than that. The
Foundation, Matt, and those at Automattic have not done any such thing.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If Emil and the other admins want to change the rules, then nobody's going
to stop them. I personally think it's a bad idea, and I'll say so, but I'm not
going to use any form of veto power for something that is ultimately so
silly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I want the rules to be changed, then I have to email those admins and
convince them. Done it before. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only time I've ever been really adamant about anything with regards to
the review guidelines was on the security aspects. No using eval and base64 and
such. Things like that. Those are pretty obvious and sell themselves, really.
Those security things are the *only* thing I've ever pushed into the guidelines
(via theme-check) unilaterally.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My point was that talking to Emil and the other admins about it, in ticket,
is far from pointless. They do have the power to give you an exception. They do
have the power to change the guidelines. They do have the power to ignore any or
all of the guidelines based on their best judgment. That's why they're the
admins. I'm not going to stop them, nor is the Foundation, or Automattic. As for
Matt, he likely doesn't have an opinion on the matter either way and would
probably have no issue with it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no need to be quite so extremely confrontational like this every
time you run into a minor disagreement. You don't need to convince me, but you
probably could convince them.</DIV>
