my position:

* "special considerations" is ill defined and can be applied to nearly anything
	* this defeats the point of having such language in the manifesto

* abuse of loosely defined phrasing has happened in the past within KDE

* exceptions to established practices exist and belong in the documentation 
for that practice
	example: coding style is noted as variable across KDE in the commit policy

* the new wording is ‘relaxed' enough to not come across as overly strict, 
even without exceptions; KISS
