I suggest we use short-circuit evaluation. If someone complains, we =
figure it out as we go, maybe depending on the nature of the complaint. =
If nobody complains, we get it done faster.

We're humans. We have the ability to respond to novel conditions without =
relying on predetermined rules and algorithms. I suggest we use that =
ability sometimes.

Breaking those rules would be considered as a hardfork and is allowed =
only in exceptional situation.
