If policy has changed then could somebody please document what the new
policy is so that I am able to apply it when considering your request?

Please stop trying to drag me into your ridiculous argument. You know as
well as I do that you are just trying to make some sort of point with
this request because the CWG vote on Monday didn't go the way you wanted.
The truly silly thing is that the CWG vote didn't actually have anything
to do with the ads getting deployed, because I had already done that a
hour or two earlier, based on the fact that discussion had petered out,
time was somewhat of the essence, and nobody had objected to my
suggestion the day before that I merge the pull request to add the two
ads in random rotation.
To be honest I'm still not exactly sure what CWG voted on, but I as far
as I understand it the vote was simply about what to do right now with
the outstanding pull request, and not about setting a long term policy
on how to handle these things.
In any event there is clearly a difference between advertising an annual
conference that expects to have hundreds of delegates and advertising
regular small scale meetups - whether the event has a geographical scope
in the title is clearly not the only thing that any policy would need to
consider.
But anyway, the summary is that I do not want, and do not intend to
become, any sort of referee in this ridiculous pissing contest.
