Yes, that is the policy I'm referring to. Yes, we can make a 
major jump to P6, but I'd argue that the conditions of: "the 
emergence of new technologies (e.g., the transition from SGML to 
XML) or the development of a new architecture that conveys 
substantial benefit (e.g., the development of the new class 
system)" have not yet been proposed.  But sure, let's add it to 
the agenda to have the discussion to see if there are such proposals.
