Er, I don't think I'm being picky. I don't quite know what you meant
by 'compiled in' in your original mail, but I can't see any
particularly restrictive reading of the phrase 'multiple, separate
upstream projects'.

I think the fact that we can't even have a discussion of this where we
both understand what the current rules actually *are* clearly
indicates they have a clarity problem =)
