Thanks, Nathan.

As you say, many communities are concerned with the new policy, and the 
unique response is "read the guidelines" and "ask for an exception".

Of course, a community can ask for an exception, but that doesn't solve 
the real problem. This isn't about CDs or stickers (who uses CDs or even 
DVDs these days?). Many communities that are built around their culture 
feel offended by being considered a "sub-something".  This is the real 
problem, and from my point of view, the LoCo Council should reconsider 
this policy.

Kind regards,
