I wasn't aware of that one. Last I heard, we were talking one per month,
top. Or possibly one per 2 months (nobody seem to remember which..)

The question then is - one per company, or one per product?

Wasn't aware of that one either :-) I wonder if this whole policy
discussion was from before I started doing the -slaves stuff. Either
that or I have a bad memory.

That, however, I knew :-)

See pt 1 above. Also, remember that there are different ppl approving
different items. (I'm sure I have probably approved at least one of
those, but I also know I've thrown away at least one, so it's not like
*every* one gets approved)
