Re: Reword/remove the new addition to sec/escalation policy

We do not plan on removing the addition we made. In large, we think that it's an area of the rules (security policy specifically) which is incredibly nuanced, and the added clarification (for new players, for players similar to that which spawned the ruling) helps. We think the added precedents can ...
