That's good news, and saves me typing up my unhappiness with the 2006-01 text as well :) Mat

In the absence of a better alternative (which 2006-02 is emphatically not), then the current policy must suffice.

From the "policy development process" view, this proposal is currently at the end of the "discussion phase". No consensus was reached, so it can not go ahead.

As it was pretty clear that there is a desire to get rid of the 200-customer rule, but that this specific wording isn't going to be *the* answer, Jordi Palet is now working on an updated proposal, which should bring us further forward.

The new proposal (actually, two new proposals, one for 2006-01 and one for 2006-02) will be circulated "in a few days".
