I wasn't very clear here. What I mean is that I think that the 
current policy already doesn't put an obligation on the sponsor to
follow everything his sponsoree did, but help in case it is asked
for.

At the same time I also agree that it is not a bad idea to revisit
this policy and make it clearer, so I am all for the changes, except
for the bits I said in the previous mail.
