Two significant changes:

  • remove the ability of the review committee to change the rules (which conflicts with the "not precedent-setting" nature of its operation.)
  • clarify what happens when a fix to a submission constitutes a significant improvement. The previous implication of section 3 was that such issues could not be waived, and it was not clear how to reconcile that with the voting rules in section 2. In practice the committee has waived them for e.g. first-time submitters and this is a useful freedom to preserve.

I want to hold this one until after 5.5.1 has gone in - then we should reference it from here.
