But this is NOT an error.  You see it as a violation of the "spirit" of 
the policy, but it's not a violation of the policy itself.  If you think 
there should be a minimum ownership period then work on adjusting the 
policy (through consensus hopefully).  I met the requirements and it was 
all very intentionally on my part, no error at all, and certainly not 
without precedent.
