Failed? Hardly.

The only rulebase policy change Tom Rini was able to identify in a recent
review was the magic behavior of EXPERT with respect to entries without
help. Which I then removed by commenting out a single declaration.

There is a widespread myth that the CML2 rulebase is lousy with "policy
changes". I don't know how it got started, but it needs to die now.

Maybe I need to write a CML2 FAQ.
