I don't know or remember whether the guidelines have ever been decided
upon, but my impression was that offering larger changes for review
has become the established, de facto rule.

Maybe it's time to spell out the conclusions explicitly, so we don't
have to repeat the same discussion every one to one and a half years.

That thread is too long to see whether there was any conclusion.
