Looking at the policy, my guess is that its nowhere near working.  As Russell has pointed out, is been in existence for eons and hasn't improved.  Since no one seems to have any interest in using it and it's broken, I'm fine removing it.  It's still revision controlled, so if there is future interest, it can still be retrieved from the git history (not that there is much to the policy if it needs to be remade).
