Keeping the status quo has indeed been a vital survival strategy over
the last years.  The drawback is a backpack containing a lot of implicit
rules.  Turning a handy selection of them into explicit rules would
create more transparency:
* Explicit rules can be quoted.
* Explicit rules can be argued about – pro and contra.
