You need to read further along in the committer guide.  Specifically,
see clause 7 in the committers big list of rules.  It won't be the
first or last exception granted since that's what exceptions are for,
though I should also note that this by no means implies that people
are now free to abandon -current and hack -stable directly since the
rule you state is still the general guideline.

Of course, I also doubt that Luigi is going to be motivated to do much
of anything more for FreeBSD after all this fracas.
