That's exactly right. One of the joys of working through consensus is that
you keep going until, well, you reach consensus or you give up. This is
one (of several) limitations that got introduced into the original policy
proposal in order to get everybody to agree. As this was the first
transfer policy to get accepted, other regions had an opportunity to look
at our train wreck and subsequently did a better job.

Now if only there was a policy proposal out there to clean up the IPv4
policyŠ
