I have no idea if that is the official policy, in any case official policy lags far after ideas come around.

Sure thing I’m wrong. Just like if you came across my comments saying this years ago you would have said I was wrong. But if you want it’s because they studied it and determined that they can hold on to it. You just have to think through it.
