This is the problem with confusing "rules" and "guidelines".

It's also a fundamental problem with having written "rules" at all; we 
stop being a functional collective and start accumulating lawyers.

So if we're going to have rules, let's propose one more; 

 - Any attempt to manipulate the rules to advance a personal agenda 
   shall be considered fair cause for permanent revocation of commit 
   rights.

Interpretation of this rule must, of course, be subject to it.

(Yes, this is a joke.  If you think the above is a good rule, you are 
 part of the problem.)
