For now, I was thinking things could manage with a bit of reasoning and 
good sense, but if Walter wants to lay some rules, I'm sure we can all 
abide by that.

But to note the following:
I marked as duplicate because I'm pretty sure it's the same as Derek's 
example.
Also, I won't revert any unduplication. Unduplication would mean there 
is contention, and contention must be settled outside of bugzilla, or by 
the leaders (Walter).
