Well, yes, the “policy” is meant to be entirely voluntary, since we don’t have a way to enforce it. At most, there can be a mechanism of “soft enforcement” in the sense that, if you pledge to follow the “policy”, this somewhat increases the trust in you, and presumably people who are sufficiently trustworthy will be privy to some unpublished knowledge and decision making. However, even then, the rules will inevitably be somewhat given to interpretation and personal judgement.
