I've always viewed guidelines as being a codification of best practices
that have been proven in production. With that in mind, the whole idea
of writing guidelines *before* packages have been put in to production
is completely backwards. The writing of new guidelines should go
hand-in-hand with the deployment of the first few "new technology"
packages. It shouldn't block it. The finalization and ratification
should happen *after* they have proven themselves in practice.
